Anti computer people are blissfully unaware of your feelings toward them, maybe they're onto something

Wendell Barry had a perfectly successful career without having to touch computers, and there will be people in twenty years who lead careers without having to interact with AI personalities

This writer doesn't look obnoxious to me they make good points. Of course they make good points only for their use case. I'd rather keep computers as a thing and have all the medical advances, plane safety, science advances we have seen. I also couldn't do what I first did on a computer with a pencil: program an automaton. But it is worth reading other points of view and seeing their side.

I fear they'll look like RMS looks in regards to proprietary hardware and software today. Show me a nightmare warning that hasn't become reality.

Plenty of people are anti "AI" because the uses they see it being put to are AI slop posted on Facebook to be responded to by boomers or bots. Or both. The dead Internet theory is becoming real.
