There are many aspects to AI push back.
- all creatives are flat against it because it’s destroying their income streams and outright stealing their intellectual property
- some technical leaders are skeptical because early returns were very bad and they have not updated their investigations to the latest tools and models, which are already significantly ahead of even six months ago
- a tech concern is how do we mentor new developers if they don’t know how to code or develop logic. LLMs are great IF you already know what you’re doing
- talent is deeply concerned that they will be reduced and replaced, going from high paying careers to fast food salaries
We have a lot of work to balance productivity with the benefits to society. “Let them eat cake,” is not going to work this time either.
Yes, this is a solid succinct summary.
I’d also extend the last point:
> talent is deeply concerned that they will be reduced and replaced, going from high paying careers to fast food salaries
The delta in that money going to the investor/tech exec instead. Yet another wealth transfer from the middle class to the 0.01%.
