A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Yes, well menial labor didn't stop existing. The ratio just changed by a lot. I also figure most on Lemmy aren't working in sweat shops lol, I definitely don't mean Africans working in a pit when I say 'Us'.
In any case, it's far from peak delusion, it's literally history. Right before WW1, 30% of Americans were full time farmers. Now that number sits at 1.3%.
