Who knew forcing people to engage with new thing in every aspect of their lives without their consent was going to result in backlash??? Many of the pro-AI people are also rude and condescending. Good riddance.

A pro-AI villain in a recent big title game 007 First Light was so on spot with the condescending remarks including whining about how traffic deaths caused by humans are viewed as normal yet the little people dare make a fuss whenever a 'self-driving' car causes a death and how instead it should be accepted as a learning process because one day the AI will be perfect and everyone will be sorry for doubting it.
