When one's job is potentially on the line one becomes a Luddite rather quickly.

lol this. No one wants to admit this when it comes to explaining why AI adoption is slow

[xnx]

Everyone wants to use AI themselves so they can work less. No one wants their boss to use AI to replace them.

Provide a good UBI that covers the living bills and I think people won't mind their boss using AI to replace them.

Exactly. Which is why businesses want to get rid of middle management, since middle managers thrive on having HC

[smallnix]

But then upper management becomes middle management. Or headcount is consolidated and still quantifies a mega-middlemanagers worth.

Gotta start at some tree depth..

Butlerian, surely.

What profession do you have that made you a Luddite based on the current state of LLMs and AI?

I'm an artist, programmer and musician, and is no closer to being a Luddite today than five years ago, not sure why others would either. Anti-capitalist or Anti-fascist I'd understand, considering the state of the world and the current direction.

FWIW, I was genuinely curious about what exactly made parent a Luddite, but after the LLM responses I don't think I have any curiosity left.
