    It’s not “tailism” to point out that mainstream AI use is aiding in the capitalist destruction of not just culture and art but also our ability to think critically and engage with anything complex. There’s no “mass hysteria” going on here; these are legitimate concerns that deserve legitimate attention. You’re just doing the 21st century equivalent of what they did to the Luddites in the 1800s.

        Missed the point of the analogy entirely.

        I brought up the Luddites because they’ve been dismissed out of hand as simply being technophobes - kind of like how critics of AI are being treated the same. It’s just dismissive of criticism without engaging with it. This is dangerous and definitely not dialectical.

          No I’m dismissing luddites because they don’t go far enough with worker emancipation. I don’t think it is technophobia that’s the problem here, it is a deeper reaction.

              AI generated “art” is not going to emancipate workers. Please be serious.

              Not under capitalism. I thought you said you were a marxist. Please be serious.
