re: #53 Belafon

Wow, seriously fucked that statement is. Might as well say it about physics, math, engineering, and philosophy.

I don’t want to set anyone off with this take, but honestly, that’s not really the case. Unlike those fields, the people promoting AI have actually stated that this is what they want. Their whole goal for AI is to “improve productivity” (read: use computers to do jobs currently done by people, hence, “want their slaves back”), and as for the sex robots, I think I saw several articles here about LLM-based chat bots that were intended to “provide companionship for lonely men.” While the original poster’s phrasing may have been slightly crude and blunt, I don’t think they’re wrong.
