Capitalism has trained us to equate productivity with our self-worth. So please don't feel the need to be constantly busy during the pandemic. You are enough, regardless of what you're building / making / cashing out on.

Having said that, if you're truly interested in a project and it keeps you engaged, go for it and I hope you're enjoying it!!!

The "Ethical concerns" section in the article feels like a punt. The author quoting "this technology is really about better storytelling" is aspirational -- the technology's story will be written by those who use it, and you can bet people will use this maliciously.
