I support giving users the choice between AI and non-AI services and products.

But workers protesting the use of AI in their industries are dumb in my opinion.

AI is going to change a lot of industries forever and there is almost nothing workers and unions can do currently to actually stop the progress.

I even had seen some worker unions who are protesting AI use, accept working with companies that use AI and I support them, Because they won’t be taken seriously if they did not do that.

In short: I think workers should protest workers conditions and wages, rather than protesting technology.

AI adaptation is inevitable.

    That’s not an opinion, that’s a claim of fact followed by a recommendation to drop the issue altogether based on the previous claim. They are just disguising that claim as an opinion by using casual rhetoric. It’s a bullshit post meant to detract against workplace unionizing and worker activism for control over the industry in which they labor.
