Who is they? The majority of British textile workers experienced destitute conditions following industrialization.
That's one of my two gripes with AI:
1) It's posed to take over knowledge work, and yet our societies have no safety nets for the millions of knowledge workers.
2) It promotes superficial understanding. It sounds so convincing and compresses complex topics into a few messages, leaving users thinking they know more than they actually do.
1) Yes, that's a serious issues that needs to be addressed, but many are too high on the status quo, because freedom and meritocracy and self-determination and all that. Rather watch the world burn than give up the ability to be able to earn and own more than the next person.
2) That's up to users. Those who only want superficial understanding will get that, and those who want deep understanding will question more and ask for citations so they can verify.
