People with visceral uninformed reactions to anything AI related remind me of similar issues throughout history. Such as the Swing Riots.

This problem is not technology.
The problem is that capital ownership controls all aspects of the factors of production and collects all the rewards.
Complaining about AI but liking capitalism is like a slave asking for chains that are more comfortable.
@selzero Disapproving of normalizing and promoting a planet-burning(*), fasism-empowering parlor trick as a gratuitous illustration is not a "visceral uninformed reaction".
(*) I'm aware single image generation operations don't consume all that much energy. Building the models does. And normalizing their use normalizes building them.
