@hardpenguin13@mastodon.gamedev.place Except that these people are not, statistically speaking, a minority. According to numerous polls in the US, the american public detest AI, even if many feel compelled to use AI. This is coming for the AI companies and their datacenters in a big way.
The funny thing is that big tech apparently do not understand this shift in sentiment.
The Verge has done good reporting on this. See for instance here: https://www.theverge.com/podcast/917029/software-brain-ai-backlash-databases-automation

@mapcar@mastodon.sdf.org the thing is, it never mattered what the people yearned for. The only thing that decided whether a technology stayed or went away, is whether it let companies make more money or not.
