lol this. No one wants to admit this when it comes to explaining why AI adoption is slow

Everyone wants to use AI themselves so they can work less. No one wants their boss to use AI to replace them.

Provide a good UBI that covers the living bills and I think people won't mind their boss using AI to replace them.

Exactly. Which is why businesses want to get rid of middle management, since middle managers thrive on having HC

But then upper management becomes middle management. Or headcount is consolidated and still quantifies a mega-middlemanagers worth.

Butlerian, surely.

What profession do you have that made you a Luddite based on the current state of LLMs and AI?

I'm an artist, programmer and musician, and is no closer to being a Luddite today than five years ago, not sure why others would either. Anti-capitalist or Anti-fascist I'd understand, considering the state of the world and the current direction.

FWIW, I was genuinely curious about what exactly made parent a Luddite, but after the LLM responses I don't think I have any curiosity left.
