Unless we expect a grassroots AI luddite movement, this is hair splitting.

  With the cost of living in the US being completely out of control, and the potential for AI to gut wages in a number of high paid areas, why are we not expecting a new luddite movement? Or is this another case of not understanding why the luddites broke the machines in the first place?

    Americans are too divided to organize against something like this in any way.

    People only think of the Luddites as stubborn and trying to hold back "progress" and not as the entire class of people whose life's work, passion, personal identity, and means of supporting themselves, was stripped away with no replacement. If you spent decades polishing your skills, took pride in your work and being a known expert and someone others could rely on, and made a comfortable living for yourself and your family doing it, it was would be horrible and devastating to watch it all slip through your fingers like sand. They weren't even given the comfort of still having a good income and comfortable life. The money they would have made for their hard earned work and skills was siphoned off by distant people in suits and jewelery who never had to put in a drop of sweat. They instead received such mockery that their name itself is now a derogatory term.

    Most of people don't work in these high paid areas, and there is no revolution in sight. Being newly impoverished is less pleasant than being poor, and we can expect some accidents there, but eventually people will probably adapt to the new normal.
