I hate "AI" because it's been built of the forced exploitation of untold millions of artists and creative laborers, without even so much as consent, let alone compensation...

Sounds to me like you hate capitalism, not some ones and zeros

I do hate unregulated capitalism.

But that's not the only problem, even people in the non-profit space, as well as the supposed "communists" of the CCP in China are using and abusing machine learning techniques for the purposes of surveillance, oppression and exploitation.

It's not the technology's fault, obviously. But at that point this becomes a bullshit "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument.

You hate this narrow use of AI in the commercial space . AI is so much larger and is used in many more amazing things that actually improve humanity than just making funny pictures and chatbots to squeeze more profit out of consumers. I know this because I've researched AI for climate for a long time now.

In this case, is it AI that you truly hate?

I think this comment said it best.
