No matter how many times medical scientists will explain how sample analysis can’t be automated away, or artists point out how their process is more than just mushing together predigested art, or (in one particularly ghoulish example I saw) suicide hotlines can’t be replaced with chatbots.
The capitalist class is gonna jam generative AIs into places they don’t belong in their manic pursuit of free market efficiency and it’s gonna make everything worse and less convenient.

It isn’t just ruling class assholes believing this, either.
One of the worst computer toucher takes I’ve ever had to read here was someone saying that computer programming and specifically software engineering could, should, and very soon would replace the entirety of psychology and psychiatry because wildly waving hands dae le human brain is meat computer dae le problems in human brain are programming errors.

Holy shit, for suicide hotlines? I’m just imagining a “yes man” FNV ai who is supportive of you in a snarky way.
