@wrzky@kolektiva.social something about the master's tools vs the master's house springs to mind here
Similarly, plenty of disabled people have good reason to use algorithmic prediction, text generation, & pattern recognition software to remove some difficulties from their everyday lives.
Nevertheless, generative "AI" remains a machine built by capitalists to enclose humanity's knowledge commons just like the early capitalists enclosed our physical commons.

@SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe So does the fact that AI is capitalist justify characterising its appeal to users as the sensation of having a slave, or is it your interpretation of AI experiences under the specific material conditions of Western society? What I said was essentially about how your Western interpretation doesn’t universalise cleanly. It’s rather disingenuous to impose a framework derived from the reality of the imperial centre onto a post-colonial reality without acknowledging that the material conditions of the periphery and the imperial core are not interchangeable under imperialism right after being made aware of the distinction.
