I think Lemmy in general is very against AI. I'm rather new here, is it like a fediverse group thing or is this even based on reality? (feddit.org)

The distribution of productivity gains and development of new technology are intrinsically and historically connected. New technology is only developed in order to exploit workers, either to make individual something which was previously socialized, or to directly replace workers with industrial advances; and in many cases both.

Marx said it best: Machines were the weapon employed by the capitalist to quell the revolt of specialized labor.

This was true for the Luddites and it is true today.
