It's very interesting that the model generated a basically coherent speech that could have come from any left-wing event or politician, given nothing more than "things are bad, what next" as a starting point. GPT-2 has correctly learned that Marxist thought is based on a form of catastrophism, as anyone who has read Marx will confirm.
It's going to be fascinating to see how people use this. My guess is "that sounds like an AI wrote it" will become an insult meaning predictable and content-free.
Even more fun will be putting the model into reverse and calculating a predictability score - if given the starting point of a real human written speech, GPT-2 rates each next word as highly likely, the overall speech can be said to be only N% insightful, where N is an actual scientifically defined measurement.
Many people seem to adopt dystopian catastrophism about AI but I feel somewhat optimistic. In the same way that automated spelling and grammar checkers can help people write better, a GPT-2 run in reverse could help people write clearer prose that gets to the point quicker, or perhaps even force people to accept when they don't really have anything new to say. If a speaker doesn't use it then someone in their audience will, after all.
