Anti-iraq war protesters killed John Kerry's presidential bid and led to 4 more years of Bush. Did that mean the democrats ran away from the issue and everyone supported the Iraq War?
No, we changed leadership and polling so much so that we finally got out of the war. The option shifted so hard that in 2015 the only republican in a huge field of candidates that said the Iraq war was a failure won the primary, the whitehouse, and (eventually after he left) got us finally out of Afghanistan. (Yes I know that was Biden, but was odd that Obama didn't do it).

Wikipedia had bots writing US census gathering-place articles in 2002, 20 years before LLMs were a thing. They've got decades of regulations in place, so I am not scared that the quality is going to drop.
Ah, Pinterest. The site I would go to to look at things, it would say "you can't look at things without an account" and I would say, "then I won't" ... and I would then leave.
There are still some family owned farms. Can't go back to feudalism without all the family farms going bankrupt and selling out to mega-farm conglomerate corporations.
If something like that can be easily be undone, then either it wasn't anything or the people who made it didn't try very hard to secure it.
