    No one likes anything forced down their throat. Especially when there is no specific, tangible reason for it. “Increase your productivity” means nothing anymore.

      Oh there are “specific, tangible reasons,” and they’re all trying to pretend it’s not, but we all know it is:

      There are two reasons:

      1. To replace as many disgusting human workers as possible, and keep their paychecks as increased profits.

      2. To surveil us in literally everything we do, force us to live by their standards, and punish us if we don’t comply.

      Those are literally the only things the Sociopathic Oligarchs want from AI, and we KNOW it, and that’s why we hate it.

      I haven’t met a single person whose productivity has been increased by it. Either they already realised It’s wasting their time, or they haven’t realised yet.

          AI would be overwhelmingly embraced if this was the case. Even a basic income program would have made it palpable.

        I’d say it’s increased my productivity in general. I’d also say “incredible numbers” is a ridiculous exaggeration being propagated by people not too interested in the truth.
