I don't think that definition meets what people would consider an invention.

The AK47 is an invention. The inventor "would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work - for example a lawnmower", but people still consider it an invention. Inventions do not have a polarity in the axis of quality of life.

There is no consensus on if GenAI is overall harmful or not. In general people are optimistic but concerned.

The last thing we need is another war on drugs.

I would rate A/B testing on human behaviour, or advertising to be more harmful to the overall human experience than GenAI.
