    It has nothing to do of the fact that it’s constantly being shoved and pushed down our throats by some of the worst human beings imaginable, wanting to maximize profits at the expense of humanity itself.

    Billionaire technocrats pitch “AI will cure cancer and free humanity” but instead this shit steals jobs, creates poverty, abuses natural resources and rapes our privacy.

    Fuck AI, it was always about helping ascend the elite to an untouchable place.

      And they’re taking the human, creative jobs in a lot of ways. Not the menial jobs that many would probably rather vanish given a proper social safety net like UBI. They’re taking the jobs that define our culture and society. The artists, musicians, writers, those that entertain us in general, are having an increasingly hard time because some derivative AI slop costs a company pennies. “Derivative” being a very nice word for “stolen from these artists in the first place…”

      In other words, AI is displacing the exact kind of avenues many humans would prefer if they had the time. Okay, got the rant out of my system for now…

    the 30-49 year olds and the 50-and-up brackets are more closely aligned, at 39 percent and 37 percent respectively viewing it as negative.

    I’m really surprised at the 30–49 bracket being at 39%. But, keep in mind there’s a huge gap in tech savviness and tech lifestyle between someone born in 1977 to someone born in 1996. Their impressionable years kicked off literally at opposite ends of the Digital/Tech revolution, so I guess that makes sense that way…
