As it happens I have actually worked in a factory before. Not for very long but for long enough to get an idea of the said "automated machine". Factory work is probably one of the most exhausting and labor (mental and physical) intensive jobs you can get in this world. It doesn't matter that the machine does all the smashing and mashing for you. You still have to pick up the ingredients, you still have to move the product from one destination to another. All that automation does in this context is it makes you do _more_ of the moving and more of the pushing. It doesn't exactly render your job experience as a dreamy paradise where you just click a few buttons (and these days you do have to click quite a few buttons) and the job is magically done.

I am talking about creative work. The kind of work where people had to go and first identify the issue themselves (not to mention come up with a unique solution in the first place), and then tell others how to work with it. In fact, there are too many variables for me to truly express how I feel or think on the matter.

All I am saying is that OpenAI knew that they were playing a dangerous game, and their only excuse is that enough "powerful" people will back their project for it not be stomped into the ground by regulations.

Do you not find it pathetic that OpenAI talks about security, precautions, responsible AI and so forth, and yet at the same time rake in millions of dollars in revenue? Do you think their goal was to 'advance humanity' or something like that? I'd be very doubtful of that.
