People who work in fast food may not be “passionate” about their job. But they aren’t “suffering”. You aren’t relieving anyone’s “suffering” by not eating fast food or even if there was no fast food. They aren’t “suffering” anymore than people working at the grocery store.

Cry me a river for software developers (been delivering code professionally for 30 years and before that as a hobbyist) because now we have something that makes us more efficient.

I don't know if you're intentionally being obtuse or you just failed third grade reading comprehension, but can you please go argue with the people actually making these points (rather than me, a random person who has replied to them)?
So exactly what point are you trying to make? That software developers - at least the employed ones - “are suffering” because of AI? That you don’t eat fast food because you believe the employees are being exploited? What exactly is your point?
