    Every time I hear someone mourn the loss of menial fast food jobs and shit to AI, my brain looses another 5000 cells. Missing the point. You are missing the whole fucking point. I’d rather you be pro-AI so I could just tell you to fuck off and think no more of it.

      AI isn’t getting rid of the menial jobs, is the thing. It’s just intensifying the exploitation of workers.

      Burger King has an AI that will watch you and discipline you if you don’t smile. That’s what AI means for fastfood workers.

      Seemed like a pretty well reasoned comment to me. Nowhere in there did they talk about the loss of menial jobs specifically.

        Omg I just realized how my comment comes off. I was saying “you” as in “hypothetical person who thinks this way” fuck

        I’m trying to agree with that comment, while adding that yeah, its often the only thing that gets through their skulls, and it ticks me off too. There are so many other (and frankly more important) reasons that “generative” AI is horrible.
