I support giving users the choice between AI and non-AI services and products.

But workers protesting the use of AI in their industries are dumb in my opinion.

AI is going to change a lot of industries forever and there is almost nothing workers and unions can do currently to actually stop the progress.

I even had seen some worker unions who are protesting AI use, accept working with companies that use AI and I support them, Because they won’t be taken seriously if they did not do that.

In short: I think workers should protest workers conditions and wages, rather than protesting technology.

AI adaptation is inevitable.

    they’re just going to lower the quality of their products.

    Great, you as user of the service/ product can make your choice to not deal with companies that use AI.

    The rest of users can enjoy more choices as they might simply prefer AI.

    AI in the strict sense doesn’t exist yet.

    WTF?

      WTF?

      ‘artificial intelligence’ (machine learning models) isn’t truly intelligent right now, it cannot reason - it’s all just pattern recognition.

      Sure, if there actually was a choice. The way things are currently going, you won’t have a choice because everyone is jumping on that train to shitsville.
