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.

if you don't have a job, you don't get paid, so you lack basic things.

if robots just did everything, and necessities (food, water, heating, cooling, etc) were free, then that would be great. unfortunately, that's not the reality we live in right now, so of course plenty of people (including myself) don't like AI.

Isn't this hate somewhat misplaced, still? Like, AI under capitalism might hurt you, but the problem is not AI.

Instead of working on core issue, many people try to ban every symptom, and it might be a very simple distraction tool.
