I think there is ample evidence that technology separates people, and that taking efficiency to its logical conclusion is not beneficial for humanity because it promotes resource usage that is unsustainable. I have thought a lot about this topic and prefer not to write endless essays in every comment, though I have written more detailed analyses about the dangers of AI elsewhere.
The problem with AI is that for a lot of people, work gives meaning, and having AI to do almost anything that can outcompete them will take away that meaning. That is certainly not rubbish, because this sentiment has already been expressed by many in the creative field. That psychological phenomenon exists.
It's sad that you have to resort to such responses such as name-calling.
I understand why the other comments would be flagged, but this one is legibly reasoned and I've vouched for it.
It is obvious that historical advancement of technology has caused widespread cultural changes, and a sizable percentage of them are considered negative by a large portion of the population. To state that commercially viable AI could cause such effects as well does not seem necessarily unhinged to me, but in fact worthy of discourse on this forum.
