You people need a PR guy, I'm serious. OpenAI is the first company I've ever seen that comes across as actively trying to be misanthropic in its messaging. I'm probably too old-fashioned, but this honestly sounds like Marlboro launching the slogan "lung cancer for the weak of mind".

Tractors automate parts of farmwork. Dishwashers automate parts of dishwashing. Computers automate parts of accounting. People seem to like paying for things that make their lives easier. If people don't like something, they are free to not buy it.
