You're apparently a software developer. That means you've spent your career automating things that put people out of work. Why are you suddenly deciding to draw the line now? You think it's ok if you're the one putting people out of work writing code by hand?

This reminds me of the people who think they're having economic trouble because immigrants are taking their jobs.

You'd have to tell me what you see when you "look around", because it's clearly not what I see. All the problems I see come from people doing things that they shouldn't be allowed to do, that should be taxed, regulated, etc. I see monopolies that should be broken up, money being used to drown out opposition with the backing of law, financial scams of all kinds propping up the supposedly most valuable companies in the world. The idea that "AI" is the bogeyman that's somehow causing any of this is drivel.

But you write one-sentence comments that don't actually describe your position, so it's impossible to know what you're actually trying to say. Perhaps you should ask an LLM to help articulate your ideas, if you want people to take you seriously. And then you'd find that AI can actually be a force for good.
