ML is not a net positive for the society, but not because some actor steal the labor of some other human. - it's not net positive because they are proprietary systems trainable only at giant scale so OR humans still have open universities and public research centers who train models on open datasets or it's the definitive proprietary software even in FLOSS form because the model is trained behind the closed door of some enterprises; - it's not a net positive because it's used to make money in scenario where the current state of tech is simply way behind the minimum needed to be ready for production and as a result we get more and more dysfunctional services; - it's not a net positive because to do really not very much it consume an immense amount of resources and we need these resources on other stuff in the present, short and mid term. Automation of any work is not a threat is a target all humans have, who want to need doing more stuff that can be done by some automation? Who want to manually wash clothes when we can use a washing machine? The point is that automation MUST BE OPEN not only to avoid https://ckrybus.com/static/papers/Bainbridge_1983_Automatica.pdf https://ckrybus.com/static/papers/Bainbridge_1983_Automatica... but more important to grant control of automation for formal owners not to 4 big power and all are then practically their slaves as Industrie 4.0 essentially imply.
