HEH. Don't know why you're getting downvoted. It's painfully obvious that there is a vicious AI backlash now, where every amazing advancement is met with denial and loathing.
Oh wait, sorry, I do know why you're getting downvoted. Fear.
A lot of people who thought they were special and “better” than mere blue-collar workers are realizing that in fact;l they are the same just working with a different medium.
I see a trend line from anti-AI back to anti-evolution to vitalism all the way to Galileo.
Humans have a deep need to be special magic flowers - and they can't stand it when science eventually shows them they're not.
Humans just want to be able to work and feed their families. Notice how this is something that is never addressed for example in Asimov's writings where robots do everything. How do people do anything to be able to afford these robots? How do Solarians make money to maintain their massively gigantic estates? It is never explained, but we always jump straight to the "robots do everything, everything is free, nobody works". How about the in between?
