I've tried to keep an open mind about AI as a tool. Humanity has lots of problems and maybe AI is necessary to share a planet with 8 billion people. That said, the people blindly embracing AI seem to miss the fact that they're controlled by large corporations motivated by profit not benevolence.

Also, it really is Black Mirror-esque that the first things we train our AI to automate out are creative in nature. Art, performance, writing, etc. These things make us humans and give us joy.
