People are freaking out because for years, the central dogma was to "educate yourself, that makes you special, that makes you unique, that guarantees you a prosperois economic future" and such, and now this promise is about to be broken. People are in denial: AI is a good thing.
I agree 100% with this. Often arguments "against" AI summarize to "it is my suffering what gave my art value, so yours has none."
Bro, that's what capitalism told you. Your issue is not the "value" of AI it is the system that assigns and controls said value.
I see it more as: "AI is being used to increase suffering and kneecap labor, especially forms of labor which are considered pleasant. In the process, nearly every cent surrounding LLMs replacing workers is getting redirected to the already wealthy."
So you mean AI is being used by Capitalism, the same way it uses everything else?
As a tool to deprive the workers from the means of production, yeah.
Exactly.
Yup.
Exactly.
