That’s the very young-end of the millennial generation. Millennials are as old as 41 right now. The average millennial is in their 30’s. That’s not old, but it’s at the point where people generally start families, build lives, and begin favoring stability over change.

Like I said, get a refund on that education.

I've noticed a strong backlash against AI technology in leftist enclaves I frequent, and it's not just the older generations either, but the younger.

Accurately, they predict that AI will primarily serve commercial interests, and that the progression of the technology will make the rich richer. Currently, their arguments are mostly centered around art generation tools from greedy corporations "stealing" from poor artists.

Pretty horrifically bad argument with a very plausible conclusion.

Almost like those leftist spaces are realistically informed on this technology. They know damn well that GPT and Diffusion just means elimination of skilled labor.

This is not the loom, they are not luddites. The loom let us hire and create more weavers. This technology however, eliminates labor.

It's true. I don't deny that at all.

I also think there's absolutely no way to stop it. We need to move forward with the idea that AI is here and is going to improve in leaps, and try to figure out how we can reshape society to benefit.

Because it's happening. Even if we somehow outlaw it in the western world, the Chinese will just keep on trucking.

China has done far more to regulate AI than the US already.

If your idea is to regulate away AI, then you're in for a bad time.

This is a new epoch of human existence. Plan for it happening, instead of fruitlessly trying to fight against the inevitable.

UghLook, I am not worried about the future of AI driven ads and Disney+ content Ill never watch. I look forward to enhanced google searches, and the various graphic tools being developed by NVIDIA.

However, I can scant see the benefit to everyday people visible AI technology will provide. Aside from enhanced ad delivery? Wow
