Oh it is understandable that they are pissed and protesting, I'm not surprised they do, nothing is illogical there when you know human nature and people emotional state. I'd be pissed too. I am pissed too, as a programmer that has his job done more and more by AI.

However it seems to me that you are the illogical one, or perhaps we are having a different conversation, you talking about their feelings, and me talking about the consequences of their choices.

There are two choices, go to the slaughterhouse (probably losing your job due to inability to compete internationally and getting nothing in return), or take the different option, which is less bad, and might even be good (probably losing your job and potentially getting money without even working).

Isn't it illogical to choose the slaughterhouse?
