I know deep down the AI thing will eventually grow out of control and probably have extreme economic effects that aren't exactly great.
But everytime I hear someone crying about "muh labor" being taken by AI, its the most unsympathetic person possible whose spent years laughing at every problem I've had. And now they want us to care about their easy life getting less cushy, and kneecap ourselves to give them more money instead of having the means of production in our hands.
Yep, the 'creative class' only a few years ago were giddy at the prospect that factory jobs for white men were going to be made obsolete with robots and an endless horde of immigrants. Now they're panicking because it's their jobs that might be made obsolete.
I noticed the same thing, artists on the left and right are concerned about the effects of AI but only the ones on the left are screeching about their artwork being stolen and how we need new laws against AI. The ones on the right are figuring out how they can pivot to take advantage of the newly forming economy.
I think it's a good example of how the left and right differ on pattern recognition / experience.
The left think if they control the AI, then they'll have the upper hand socially, and get to decide who gets the cushy jobs and who gets protected. They aren't thinking about money, just hierarchy.
The right know that if you handicap AI for a situation like this, that China, Japan, Russia, will just continue business as usual, and end up with the economic advantage.
I've seen a few right wing takes on the AI thing being a problem, but they were mostly nuanced instead of screeching. It was closer to "we aren't going to stop this, so we need to learn to work within it and stop the worse of it before it sinks in" compared to the temper tantrum of the Left demanding its banned entirely.
I agree, the fact that robotics will take a long time to catch up with AI means that computers will eventually be able to do all the white collar jobs, while us plebs get to do the manual labor. Unfortunately, the only ones pushing back against AI are very insufferable like you said.
Whenever I see some faggot on tumblr (I know, I know) mocking working class Americans' concerns about illegal aliens, but then on the other hand screeching about AI, I reply to their post with "the illegal AI's are taking our jobs!".

They spent years saying "Learn to Code, hahahaha!"
Well now the only thing to say to them is: learn to mine coal, faggots.

Always gets the jimmies rustled.
