Yeah, that's the catch isn't it? On one hand, we're ceding skills to oligarch-owned chat bots that are working day and night to create to neofeudal police state where their air conditioned bunkers can survive the climate apocalypse, but on the other hand, it makes your job slightly easier (until you're inevitably laid off).
It's a really tough spot to be in.
And I say "fuck em" until they actually change their stance and views. People might say "oh you need to be tolerant and patient and teach them the error of their ways," but these are the people that know damn well the impact AI is having on literally everything but they're still just going "whee! It makes my job easier for 5 minutes!"
So, fuck em.
Yea, let's get ride of computers all together. In fact, let's destroy the loom too!
I'll go get my sledgehammer.
I have some wooden shoes, will they do ?
