You still needed writers to come up with a new material for printing press. It only increased distribution of existing material.

Which isn't case with machine generated text and images. You can get any hateful or depraved output within minutes.

That was exactly the point the church made against the printing press, without needing scribes anyone could come up with whatever foul heresy they liked and publish it for distribution.

The chief difference between now and then is what we consider unpermissable. Otherwise the agrument is the same, we cannot trust people to publish whatever they like or terrible things will happen.
