I think the hate of AI does what you describe more than the actual AI
Yeah, no
Definitely is. It's identical to the fear of immigrants. Like they just recycled the same articles. It's manufactured outrage. It'll either work or it doesn't. We'll find out. Not a big deal either way. Getting my information on this from media created by non tech literature journalists (who feel most threatened by AI) isn't a great move. It's like watching Fox News to stay on top of the latest immigration problems.
Take any articles on AI and put "immigrants" into the headline. It's weird how it's all the same crap. "They're taking our jobs" "they threaten our way of life" "society can't handle the influx of this thing".
can we not compare the media’s complicity in the dehumanization of a group of people currently being targeted by fascist regimes to articles about whether a certain technology is useful or not
