AI is “taking away jobs” in the same way that a car is “found on tram tracks”
The thing itself isn’t doing any of that
It is the bosses and billionaires chomping at the bit to find a new excuse to demoralise and get rid of workers to bolster the elite economy, rather than the plebian economy
Blaming it on AI is removing responsibility from the person driving the change, much in the same way that such phrasing dispels the responsibility of drivers from driving onto tram tracks
All of these choices are not based on AI as it is, but on AI as they would like it to be.
They are desperate to cut headcount because employment is expensive, and they are hoping that a machine that plays dominos with language can replace even the least trained human
As any reviewer tells you, never judge a product based on what it claims to be in the future, only on present performance
But after spending billions on this bullshit, after scuttling tens of thousands of workers collectively, to realise that they made a mistake is the most egregious sin — it is better to double down on believing you are right than to is to admit that you made a costly mistake in born money and cutting workers
To blame AI as a concept is absurd, it is feeding into this popular idea, based on science fiction tropes, about the evil sapient computer
There is no evil sapient computer, there is only an evil sapient rich fucker instead
