      Fun times ahead, and at the end of the day I do think the key part is to redirect the hate from the tech itself towards what’s actually causing problems. Whatever we may think of AI, it’s no longer possible to put toothpaste back in the tube so to speak. This tech exists, and it’s not going to go away because people are mad about it. It’s better to be constructive and focus the discussion on how it’s going to be applied going forward.

        Exactly, if we are to be Marxists, we should be evaluating how any new technology or idea can be beneficial to the working class, and discard what isn’t while keeping what is. The fact that AI has already helped solve legitimate problems in the field of science and helped alleviate workloads proves that it at minimum has some usefulness and can be pushed in a positive direction, even if it is more often than not used for automated commercials and scams at the present moment. Controlling it and limiting its excesses is the primary issue, but then we can carefully apply it where it does legitimately have value.
