This is all interesting, however, I'd suggest, some of these will be abused, mostly by overuse. Some of that overuse will be over diagnosis, incorrectly attributing the behavior described to regular human behavior. But the other form of overuse is probably even more prevalent, of attributing the correct diagnosis, but attributing more harm to the occurrence.

Let's take "AI’m a Writer Now" as an example. Is that really bad if it occurs? I'd say, usually not. But in a jealous defense of their current position of status, the "I've always been a writer" will look down at these new writers, diminishing them for the process, without always having a real argument to attribute to the output. The "nouveau riche" of writers? Even when there's some substance there, some ill-judged sense of superiority is there too.
