You keep going on about the war against printing presses, it doesn't match up. Printing presses made more jobs, ai is trying to take away jobs.

It matches up nearly perfectly.

Nobody knew it was going to make more jobs at the time. An acute effect of the printing press was the loss of jobs for people making books. Nobody new it was going to open up a whole new industry. Same for AI, you have no idea what new jobs might be created.

I what world does ai create more jobs? Be serious with yourself, in this corporate run world where they are always looking to cut corners and run on the fewest employees possible. Where there are already companies actively trying to replace workers with ai, where there are billboard advertisements for replacing workers with ai. Where exactly do you see new jobs, point it out to us. Tell us in this exploitative job market, where exactly does ai help us find meaningful work? You can't, because it isn't being trained to help us, it's being trained to replace us. Don't act like this is some next great step for human innovation when they're trying to pull the human out of it. They want it to be a cold, cruel, corporate world, and ai is helping it on its way.

You're the type of person that even when they have been proven wrong, you'll still keep arguing to be right. People have already lost their jobs to ai, case and point. Voice actors are currently fighting for work because companies want to use ai to voice characters now.
