I can at least understand cars and industry as they're kinda necessary for the vast improvements to quality of life but AI is just making things more shit.

A few credulous rubes might beg to differ if the treat printer says "I love you senpai" just convincingly enough (gotta burn that many more acres of forest!).

They're not the problem really. I empathize with those lonely enough to seek companionship in AI.

AI wouldn't be getting 1/10th of the support if business owners weren't planning on using it to replace entry-level jobs, that's why we're burning the forests down.

I would be more sympathetic for that desire if it wasn't so often presented in a contempt-for-living-beings format, as is often the case, including on this site sometimes. That misanthropic sentiment isnt new, but the treat printers have galvanized it.

Definitely, and take this from someone trying to escape the reserve army of labor.

You’d think America, where work is sacred, it would be an act of blasphemy for an employer to abolish work in certain levels. But no, it’s “innovation” and no one cares that entry-level jobs are a thing of a past.
