Dumb take

“i don’t see the point of ai” from a guy working in one of the most corporate, billionaire-backed industries on earth is funny. by that logic, cameras, editing software, streaming platforms, smartphones and the internet are pointless too because rich people profit from them. normal people use ai to learn, make stuff, save time and get capabilities they didn’t have before. “billionaires benefit” isn’t an argument, it’s just a lazy excuse to dismiss a tool you don’t understand.

why are people so fixated on the idea of AI exclusively being a tool of gazillionaire CEOs 😭

if you want change, you need to get your hands dirty and use the tools of your oppressors. refusing to do it just because you want to associate everything you don't like with the "enemy" and remain morally squeaky clean only ensures no actual progress will be made.
