What are the benefits to actual people? What you are gonna replace lost jobs with? All electronics with ram or storage is now way more expensive due to AI gobling up everything. And then there are local power grid impact concerns. Why would you be suprised there is opposition?

What about the people who have already lost jobs due to false expectations set via over hyping the tech? That poster is so clueless.

  If this is true, then you can just hire them and beat out the businesses that erroneously laid off valuable workers.

Hiring requires financing, and that's reserved for monopolies only, especially now with the AI trust-like, circular monopolies sucking every available dollar out of the debt markets.

I’m not surprised there is. I even spelled out why I think there are so many who are opposed. There is something very contradictory about these posts. For example, you seem to suggest that it doesn’t benefit people but AI is can also replace workers. So which is it? AI is very useful to people to a point that one person can do the job of many? Or AI is useless? Do we have mass unemployment because of AI? No. Our unemployment rate has been very low since ChatGPT.

The only contradiction is in your words because workers are (the) people and they don't benefit from being replaced. In other words, you contradict yourself by claiming contradiction where it doesn't exist. > Our unemployment rate has been very low since ChatGPT The unemployment rate includes only a small portion of the unemployed, it's a made-up number gated by many other conditions. The real measure is the LFPR - labor force participation rate - since 2006 it has fallen from 67% to 61%, that makes 18 million less employed today compared to 20 years ago. Also, official IT unemployment rate today is almost twice the average and it's gotten considerably worse compared to 2022.
