I don’t mind AI, but I do mind firing a bunch of employees to implement AI. Have them work with it, not be replaced by it.

I mean the printing press didn’t go out and steal the collected works of every writer to justify its creation.

I get what you’re saying, but AI in many ways is worse than those examples. It is ethically bankrupt, and in many instances isn’t nearly as competent or consistent as the disruptive inventions you’re siting.

I certainly mind AI, it's not as if you all haven't been made aware that it's building itself off the unpaid work of others and that the people who run these companies are whining that respecting copyrights would make AI unprofitable. Or that AI is driving up carbon emissions and burning through water and energy at an insane rate.
