AI is being used as a stand-in to bring in new laws and shape the current mindset. One that keeps everything for sale and builds artificial scarcity. They went after starving artists and creators first. Same tactics that were used to turn people on the right against immigrants. Fear, anger, repetition.
Go look at the old posts and articles. Then compare them to the stuff that was circulating during the anti-immigrant wave. It’s the same blueprint. The media was used the same way. Make people think there’s a crisis. Then give them something to hate.
AI isn’t the problem.
You'll keep saying that until you end up jobless because a computer can accomplish your tasks in a good enough way, not as well as you, just well enough, then because it suddenly affects you you'll be angry about it.
It does affect my job. And no I won't end up jobless. My job will change and I'll adapt. I'll be able to do more at my job with AI and then expand on the work it does. It's symbiotic not parasitic
Again, until your boss feels he doesn't need you and can just rely on good enough shit regurgitated by AI.
Again like I said earlier 'they'll take yer jobs' is more about spreading fear and panic. The panic is never truly justified.
The Jobs will change. Bosses will always try to get rid of employees in favour of profits. Immigrants, sorry I mean AI is not a big threat.
People always ask why trumpets are the way they are. Look at yourself and the fear of this new thing and truly evaluate all the social media headlines and posts and comments it took to bring you here. It's the same process. Same shit different day. The media pushed this fear. That's how insidious they are.
Dude, you're the one saying it's ok to replace paid artists with AI, you're the one saying it's able to do their job, you're the one saying that it can take people's job, you just don't feel concerned because you can't imagine you'll be the one being affected, you're the one sounding like a Trumpist "It's ok, it will only affect others and they're the people who I believe done deserve to make a living off their work!"
I'm done, this is idiotic.
I never said to replace them. I just don't care if they make a living if they don't care about ending information scarcity
