You're not afraid of the technology you're afraid of corporations abusing it to exploit their workforce. Don't blame the technology, blame the corporations.
You're describing the difference between the original Luddism that's against exploitation and the degenerate form that's just a blind hatred of new technology. Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of the latter on Lemmy.
Yeah Lemmy and the world in general seems to just parrot the opinions of whichever talking head they listen to. I recognize that there are certainly issues both ethically and technically with LLMs and image generation especially. However I also utilize both these tools on a daily basis to make my life more efficient which frees me up to do more things I enjoy. That to me is the most important thing we should regulate about automation, it should make lives easier, not give us more work to do.
Any idea which talking head that might be?
I've been trying to figure out which ideology is behind these arguments (where there are arguments). The emphasis on property and human creativity is quite reminiscent of Ayn Rand, but she is not quoted. Well, no one is cited. Actually, the way things are just asserted and objections just bulldozed over while screaming theft is also reminiscent of Rand.
I bet a lot of the AI bashers are the same demographic that grew up with the Internet and mocked the baby boomers who were Internet skeptics.
A lot of people seem to know what the "original" luddism was about. Must have been that popular article on the subject several years ago.
