So the issue is: we industrialized because we wanted to sell more food while paying less people for working. Not because we wanted to make the world a better place.
Industrialization and AI are actually very similar. Both were pushed by rich people who wanted to pay less for producing more.
And just like industrialization, push to use AI is lowering quality of everything. Because quality things cannot be mass-produced.
Industrialized ag happened because the large majority of people don’t want to do the hard work of farming. All of you here want to make a 6+ figure income sitting in your comfortable home office. Rather than working 10-hour days sweating in the hot sun to grow your own food and provide for its storage.
You wanted those pretty lights and shiny baubles the urban life provides. So, because so many people want to get that nice cushy life, you have fewer people needing to feed more and more people that can’t provide food for themselves. So what is the end result?
Quality things can be mass-produced but you don’t have to renew them as often and you quickly reach saturation of the market and thus your sales plumet.
So they prefer enshittification and planned obsolescence…
