I believe the main reason for the right enjoying all this is that the loudest whining has come from pretentious lefty artists who want government regulation to protect their racket. Everyone thought the robots would take over manual labor first, but AI is taking the jobs of the so-called "creatives", and the irony is delicious as most of those people are apparently communists who believe they will be living in luxury creating art after the glorious revolution while everyone else toils. Most of them never cared about automation replacing jobs until now. Learn2Code.
Personally it doesn't matter if I like it or not. It's pretty much a fact of life, and you adapt or die. We have to have control over our own AI tools, understanding them completely so we can exploit them to help us vanquish our enemies.
That's legitimately scary, though perhaps another generation or two down the line. I actually knew someone who was fine with being completely dependent on Google for truth, and he can't wait until the day he can hook his brain up to a machine to answer all his questions. I don't really see a solution though besides having control over society or avoiding the borgification myself. That doesn't mean I'll avoid using all automation tools though if they make my routine work easier.
