AI Will Be Met with Violence, and Nothing Good Will Come of It

So far, AI is a "unique" technology in that the main use case is "work replacement." Consumer applications have only existed to "destroy human creative media with low quality slop".

The vast majority of individuals derive no value from AI, they are instead told to do their jobs faster and own the mistakes of the AI for flat/declining pay. It's a bad deal for most people.

AI is not unique in this at all. It's also the goal of almost every technological advancement. The only difference with AI is that it's replacing jobs that people thought could never get replaced.

industrialization gave us cheaper goods, and new types of goods (the automobile). What new consumer features has ai delivered? So far, I've seen mostly slop.
