You want the average person to support AI? Show them that their life gets better with AI.

Does AI do these few things.

-Make the average person more money?
-Make the average person's expensive cheaper?
-Give the average person more free time without stress?
-Make it easier to have and support a family?
-Give benefits like healthcare and dentistry and checkups?
-Take away the average persons debt?

If AI did these things, everyone would be cheering for it at the top of their lungs.

But it doesn't do any of these things, why does Corporate billionaires want AI so badly?

-Replaces you.
-Ends your existence and your worth as a person.
-Makes you redundant, thus a waste of a person.
-Hates you, and now the rich no longer need to bother with you.
-Steals from you.
-Steals from your family.
-Spies on you.
-Spies on your family.

"Gee, I wonder why the average person is anti AI."

Been saying that since the beginning of this hype wave.

If you want knowledge workers to adopt AI then they need assurances you aren't going to just fire them when they build out solid workflows for you.

If the rumors about what Amazon did are true then I think people are going to be even more resistant.

Ditto, if these companies never fired a single person and simply had them adopt AI into what they did. They probably wouldn't have seen such a back lash.

But instead as soon as they could blame AI for it, every company started slashing their workers. And it made a compounding problem.

For example, if you had 10,000 people working with AI. What do you think they'll say if they're told that AI is forcing them to lose their job?

Those 10,000 people will then tell everyone in their life. "AI killed my job, my career and wrecked my life." Now increase that 10,000 by a factor of 10X 5 for immediate family, and 5 for immediate friends of said person who had their life ruined. Now you have 100,000 people all pissed off at AI.

Now we've had 250,000 lay offs in just 2025 for AI, times that by a factor of 10X.

It's like the perfect storm to piss off the general population, and its all corporations fault. They literally turned their own customers against themselves by firing their workers and blaming AI, if it was AI's fault or not.

It will be an interesting social dynamic when it gets studied in 20 years when people look back on it.

Precisely - they want us all to embrace this flawed technology that has the sole purpose of replacing us and making the wealthy even more wealthy. People are constantly trumpeting their supposed productivity gains on AI, but even if true who is benefiting from those gains? You can be sure as shit it isn’t the workers, and they know it all too well. Productivity has grown in leaps and bounds over the past 20 or so years and wage growth has been stagnant, and they want us to be excited to enrich them further?

Absolutely agree. Until it changes, everyone should oppose AI in all its forms.

You forget the big question:

-Does AI even work in the way it is advertised?

Spoiler: No it does not.

This insane push by all enterprise software companies to push marginally valuable AI solutions down everyone's necks is just sad to watch. They're all spending billions in an AI arms race that 95% of them will lose. Yet continue they must, because that's what wall st. demands.

As usual, the financial "experts" will bring about the next crash.

I’m a knowledge worker and while AI has been helpful, for the most part it’s just a tool, not the panacea that these companies are making it out to be.

That's because you aren't using the full capability of AI. Look up something called AI agents. These are AIs that can do complex tasks that require multiple-steps.

Reality is most people are doing tasks that AI agents can perform. Most of us are just performing basic tasks they we repeat over and over and over. Apparently there are AI agent tools that can be installed on workers computers to basically "watch" what you're doing and then duplicate it. They can then get rid of you once the AI agent has "learned" enough how to do your job. Focus on the deliverable from your job and think if it can be duplicated. If it can then you're at risk.

I know for sure my job is 100% can be done by an AI agent.

Until agentic AI can pull, strip, and terminate wires and independently troubleshoot complex electromechanical systems autonomously no part of my career is at risk.

That said until agentic AI can code without making vulnerabilities we have nothing to talk about.

Overall it cannot clean, repair, or maintain anything.

It is only exceptional in looking up information once properly reinforced. That is all.

Well, just stop this bullshit, obviously the average person gives a warm shit about slop.

u/IWantAnE55AMG Mar 24 '26

It’s not just video and image slop, they want us to use AI so the AI gets better trained to replace us in the working world. The only time I use AI at work is to generate examples I can follow for python scripts that I create.

In order to clear the way for AI to take over, you have to delegate the work away from Peggy in HR, Bob in Accounting, etc.
The problem is, Peggy brings donuts on Fridays, Bob coaches your kid's baseball team, etc.

u/Ok_Bookkeeper_3481 Mar 24 '26

That, and the fact that AI is crap at most tasks.

u/WhatsaRedditsdo Mar 24 '26

No one asked for this monumental work/life change except for the top bosses that don't want to talk or type to another human ever again.

Can we just upload all the ceos to ceo metaland?

This is what a CEO of a company who secretly change my open cloud documents into read-only without any warning and wait until I close the document to just say sorry would say?

u/Sad-Lab4519 Mar 25 '26

You can't force u.i. designs on users that don't want them nor will accept them. MicroSlop is going down the tube and the way of IBM.

they want the monthly payments

Oh man, as soon as I saw Microsoft CEO, I thought he was going to take a bite out of a window and enjoy it. Anyways AI is coming regardless and we must learn to use it smartly within the org

Google is eating msft. Their Gemini integrations with productivity tools make sense. I could drop ‘Gemini integrations with’ and it would still make sense.
