In this case the scene is not made up of "generative" images in the current definition of the term, but synthetic images generated from polygons, virtual lighting, etc. It seems that there could be artistic utility to manipulating text in a similar way.
I don’t think I mind it in explicitly artistic contexts so much, putting aside the fact that all the GPTs I have seen write in a banal, unimaginative, equivocating way that is exactly the opposite of what you want from creative dialogue.
I can see narrow uses for it in that sort of way.
But it’s being marketed as a tool for businesses to use to talk lazy crap at people who would prefer to hear from humans: it’s fundamentally a disrespectful thing in that context.

When I think about Photoshop it is so tied in my mind to its history as an offshoot of ILM and the VFX industry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop#Early_history
ILM's famous t-rex scene from Jurassic Park contains very little text/dialog, but emotional, expressive, synthetic imagery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc_i5TKdmhs
