You know it’s ok for everyone to dislike a thing if the thing is legitimately terrible, right? Like dissent for dissent’s sake is not objectively desirable.
It is not though
AI in the context of late-stage capitalism and the beginnings of global ecological collapse is terrible for everyone except for the people who own it.
I would agree that big companies using AI to replace people is bad, but using AI to be more productive and learning/simplifying things is not
AI makes people more productive, so companies will use AI to replace people. It literally never works out that the new technology means we have to work less. Like, in a vacuum, AI is cool as hell, but in the context of a real world, we should all be fighting against its rapid deployment with tooth and nail.
(and we haven't even gotten into the environmental impacts... which are relegated to a footnote as always these days.)
Sadly there will always be abuse. Capitalism!
