I think, if anything, technology like this has gradually empowered people to rise above the autogenerated fugue that has historically always been a part of everyday life (though historically the human mind did a pretty good job generating that on its own thanks to widespread ignorance, superstition, and fear). Speaking personally, I find AI chatbots and image generators when I'm using them myself to be like a refreshing drink of cool fresh water compared with the sensation of being only drip fed or waterboarded by businesses wielding the technology to influence my behavior without my explicit input or full consent.
