If AI actually did what you think it does then why would the capitalist class support it?

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.
