[QUOTE="Malmuria, post: 9089683, member: 7030755"] The broader issue for me with respect to automation is, if something is automated, who gets to benefit from the supposed increased productivity and inefficiency. That's not a question about the technology, but about how our laws, regulations, and politics shape the use of that technology. In unregulated environments, new technologies can be leveraged to increase the wealth and power of a select few at the cost of the many, whose labor and life becomes more precarious. Hopefully what's starting out now as consumer activism and corporate responses (e.g. people complaining about AI art and companies being forced to take that into consideration) eventually results in a more robust legal framework, not just around AI but around this larger question of who gets to benefit. Getting in the way of the would be the large corporations themselves that most stand to profit, and I guess individuals who see (particular kinds of) technological change as inevitable and operating separately from any social/legal/political process (which has never been the case historically).
