It's super fun how AI has become a term associated with "shoving shitty automation into situations where it doesn't belong, in order to reduce payroll and labor power."

We could be selectively and tactically using automation to make everybody's lives easier, but capitalism is like, "AI, interesting, how can I use this to be a piece of shit? I'm just not satisfied with how much of a piece of shit I am already."
