I mean, we really have to ask ourselves - as a civilization - whether human collaboration is more important than AI data harvesting.
I was fine before the AI.
The biggest customer of AI are the billionaires who can't hire enough people for their technofeudalist/surveillance capitalism agenda. The billionaires (wannabe aristocrats) know that machines have no morals, no bottom lines, no scruples, don't leak info to the press, don't complain, don't demand to take time off or to work from home, etc.
AI makes the perfect fascist.
They sell AI like it's a benefit to us all, but it ain't that. It's a benefit to the billionaires who think they own our world.
AI is used for censorship, surveillance pricing, activism/protest analysis, making firing decisions, making kill decisions in battle, etc. It's a nightmare fuel under our system of absurd wealth concentration.
Fuck AI.
