No, there really isn't. You're just pigging backing off of the exploited labor of working class engineers and enjoying the luxury of living away from the blood soaked externalities that make your chatbot sing.

If AI actually did what you think it does then why would the capitalist class support it? A computer program that is the might of millions of workers? How would the control of the capitalist class continue to exist?

Or the more reasonable explanation that like smartphones and crypto, there exists a very lucrative profit incentive for the capitalist leach to create profit margins out of thin air. Westerners are trained to overconsume so this doesn't come as a suprise.

Because server farms are cheaper than hiring developers, artists, writers, etc.? Capitalists don't care about the environmental impacts as long as their bottom line isn't affected.

This technology is killing jobs. Thousands are being laid off at Microsoft this month on top of layoffs at lots of other tech companies. The field I went to college to learn is cooked. There's already thousands of over qualified people applying to the few jobs that are left. This is a way bigger deal than Crypto and another way for the owning class to hoard more wealth for themselves at the expense of us working class folks.
