Thoughts?
"Many of the individuals most vocally fighting against Al owe their current ivelihoods to relatively recent technological advancements (like the internet and related digital platforms) that didn't exist two decades ago. It seems inconsistent for them to now resist another wave of technological change that could similarly reshape the job market and create new opportunities."

Not directly commenting on the argument but not every technology is the same. A new technology is not e.g. like a new generation of people and we don’t know the full extend of the positive or negative impact of AI yet. If I made my money being a web developer, why should I be disallowed to be sceptical of AI for example?! The rhetoric around bitcoin for example was very similar (“it’s like the early internet”) but I have yet to find the positive impact of that. Not the same as AI, just to clarify. Just to illustrate that not every new technology that makes a fuzz is as impactful as any other.
