As noted, I am not especially offended by the idea of technology making things easier. That is the central job of technology.
For example, I own a washing machine and a dishwasher. I am not annoyed that they deprive me of the pleasure of washing clothes or dishes.
What I am offended by is that what AI is getting praised for is actually repackaging the work of people like my colleagues and my friends and, well, me. Without attribution or credit or remuneration.
I have been feeding this creature for literally half of my life. If it gets my job (which it almost certainly will), what severance do I get? I am guessing: none.

I assume the boobs are bags of sand which explains why she's having such a hard time running with so little support, the t rex apocalypse is a secondary issue
the most important thing with "AI" as we're supposed to call it seems to be its usefulness as a kind of engineered superscab that occupies many human workers' roles and hangs over the heads of others left as a warning to never ask for anyhing better (maybe they leave that bit out of the manifesto but if there is a core to this that has to be it surely? unless the real core is something closer to that "art". which might be scarier.

ok one more: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/20/tech/rite-aid-ai-ftc-settlement/index.html
Rite Aid has agreed to a five-year ban from using facial recognition technology after the Federal Trade Commission found that the chain falsely accused customers of crimes and unfairly targeted people of color.The FTC and Rite Aid reached a settlement Tuesday after a complaint accused the chain of using artificial intelligence-based software in hundreds of stores to identify people Rite Aid ādeemed likely to engage in shoplifting or other criminal behaviorā and kick them out of stores ā or prevent them from coming inside.But the imperfect technology led employees to act on false-positive alerts, which wrongly identified customers as criminals. In some cases, the FTC accused Rite Aid employees of publicly accusing people of criminal activity in front of friends, family and strangers. Some customers were wrongly detained and subjected to searches, the FTC said.

― rob, Wednesday, 20 December 2023 15:25 (nine months ago) link
very much agree with the last paragraph there, in fact that's something I've thought about a lot recently - how growing up "the internet" was this place you accessed via the one computer in your house, and it was done so knowing that everything on it was 'fake' to some extent; people didn't use their real names, images were often altered, you could never tell who was sincere and who wasn't. like the most common joke back then was "it must be true, I read it on the internet". my high school teachers would fail your papers if you cited anything online outside of their three approved sources. and then with the advent of social media and smartphones suddenly people did start using their real names, and posting their real thoughts, along with a nonstop stream of pictures of themselves (back when I started using the internet posting a real photo of yourself was still considered kinda weird!). which meant the internet WAS real life in a sense, but now thanks to AI we are rapidly reverting back to this paradigm where you can't trust anything you see or read online anymore. certainly when I'm scrolling stuff like FB/Twitter/Reddit (which I do far less of these days) my brain just assumes half the shit I see there is fake. and I do think that's not exactly a great thing for our brains and general sanity, given that the internet is now *everywhere* in a sense it was not 20 years ago.

Ugail cheerfully admits that he knows ānothing about artā, and that the reception to his work from art historians can be frosty.āI think there is fear and they also think we are naive, that we donāt know what we are doing,ā he said.But Ugail thinks the art historians will eventually be won over and see AI as an extra way of authenticating great art. He stressed that he does not believe AI will replace humans.
