it seems like you wouldn't have to worry about that, the fact that the machines themselves will be monetized to death, and the fact that if people at large do get access there will be laws telling you what you are allowed to do and not allowed to do (which will probably be supported by a computer infrastructure that doesn't allow certain things), and police to police them, and all the rest, will form a natural limit to what can be done. In the end, it is just going to be more of the same as before, jsut different paintings to hang on the walls.

But I was thinking, these machines sound like what they say of geniuses: that genius is the ability to hold two opposing thoughts in mind simultaneously.
