Maybe this will help public realize they don't hate AI, they hate current form of capitalism. It took something which reduces work and made it a bad thing.

It doesn't reduce work, it improves productivity, and virtually none of the productivity boost of the last 50 years benefited the worker. So you end up working the same hours, producing more and not being paid for the difference

Improved productivity is reduced work. We dont have to work the same hours. Labor doesn't always have to relent.

idk man, I'm still working the same hours as 10 years ago, and my retirement age went up since then, if anything I'm working way more, certainly more than my parents and grandparents

Yes precisely what I am trying to say. This is not an outcome of technology, its an outcome of how our socio-economic system is set up. The company owners could have easily given you the benefit of technology improvement, made a 3 day work week or made a 4 hour work day and hired more people or reduced their own ambitions. Instead they chose to squeeze everything out of you.

We agree then. Politicians in my country were saying automation would bring the 3 days work week, in the early 1980s aha

This has been my thinking as well. Quite anti-human that a technology that improves automation and productivity works against common interest rather than for it.
