    It was mostly a joke because AI is getting shoehorned into everything in ways that makes as much sense as a hammer at every station of an assembly line; at the very least, AI is not actually replacing the laid off workers who were fired for lack of projects and work.

    What I also think is pretty great about the AI-backlash is that it’s effecting the educated “middle class”, which has built society around gate keeping degrees. Nobody generally gave a shit when modernization displaced factory workers (“just the price of progress!”), because working with the BRAIN is obviously morally superior (/s), but now knowledge work is effected, they’re feeling a drop of class consciousness.
