To be honest I'm against AI at a cellular level but accept it at a practical level.
I wholeheartedly understand both sides and it is to an extent regrettable because truth be told there is something genuinely human and inspiring about one off art pieces even if it is just a passing thing. Like an artisan baker who makes a beautiful wedding cake only for it to be devoured within a day.
So I do get it.
That said, just a few years ago these people so callously told thousands of blue collar workers to "just learn to code" and the irony isn't lost on me (thought undoubtedly it is on them) that it was coders themselves who eventually axed their own jobs.
I do worry about people not being able to find meaningful work and also falling into lethargy and/or despair. Idle hands do the devil's work.
The AI argument now is the same as the UBI argument from just a few years ago. Some people think it will result in them no longer needing to work and can thus sit in their asses all day doing jack shit. And I've seen that before. It's called Wall-E. Or Idiocracy. Or any spoiled kid you knew growing up who basically got UBI/AI v1.0 which is basically just your parents paying for everything to be done for you, cook, clean, drive, etc. and do you know how those people turn out?
They're fucking douchebags. Lazy douchebags.
They didn't use their endless downtime to become superhumanly good at whatever. They just become lazy good for nothing cunts.

And that's what I worry will happen to everyone.
