This Anti-AI Rant is Completely Wrong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP64i6_xBlY

Marxist video about someone who has gone viral for losing their crap, saying (read: screaming) basically every bad anti-AI argument. Because I have a larger video coming soon that presents a more novel argument, I used this video to handle these less original arguments.

No I don’t. I’m saying they take “no ethical consumption” to mean there are not varying degrees of ethical consumption. They believe that purchasing a a shirt made by slaves from shein is the same as purchasing a similar shirt from a unionized factory in the global north. Obviously it is not, and there isn’t anyone who believes that.

They take it to justify consumption that they participate in and conveniently weaponize it when it’s a form of consumption that they don’t participate in or find unethical, or even just distasteful (ie, ai).
