"AI, then, isn’t just the fantasy of a world without people — it’s the fantasy of a world without people…except for slaves. It’s the fantasy of a world where the skilled workers who tell you your ideas are stupid are replaced with pliable chatbots who tell you they’re brilliant, and then uncomplainingly do the job to your specifications.”

@elasticsoul@mastodon.social I wish it was surprising when people felt the need to make up positions for those they disagree with in order to "argue" against them. But really, it's not; there's a term for it. Strawmanning. Which is EXACTLY what this is. I challenge anyone anywhere to find someone who actually claims to desire a world where all humans are slaves.
