Yup. It's why I don't hate AI itself, but the people behind creating and pushing it. The way to get tons of funding for AI was to push it on the world as the new way to avoid paying employees fairly or at all. It's just more money, power, and control for the few. Mostly the same few who already have lots of those things.
I understand that AI isn't human, but hating it seems sort of like hating a slave for taking your job instead of hating the slave owner or hating a knife for stabbing you instead of the guy holding the less stabby end of it.
