The current tech brings a modest productivity increase when used correctly, but it isn’t really taking anyone’s jobs. Articles like this that support the fraudster’s false claim that it will are part of the problem. No, don’t tax AI, just don’t use taxpayer money to bail these fuckers out when the bubble pops.
This kind of anthropomorphisation is bad, it shows a lack of understanding of the technology, it's a terrible idea.
Good luck with that..
