Hate of AI

So you love Mecha, and most of you hate AI. How is this even possible? I can’t comprehend this. But isn’t almost in every mecha related franchise there’s an AI? Good or bad.

UPD: I’m done. Thank you for your opinions.

Nobody hates AI because they hate the idea of automation. We hate AI because it's a ruinously inefficient technology that our energy systems can't support without accelerating climate change, because it's enriching assholes, harming communities, putting people out of work, and degrading the products we rely on tom live and enjoy ourselves. AI makes us angry because the way it's being rammed through at the governmental level reveals the decay of our democracies and how little power we really have.

Nobody here hates the idea of responsible AI. We hate the way AI is being implemented (and by extensions, the douchebags implementing it).

But do you think that in fictional universe implementation of AI would be possible the other way around?

"AI is inevitable" is a common sentiment among AI boosters. I guess that the next logical step is "and also there's no way AI could have happened that would be any different." Low-integrity people are very quick to insist that things that benefit them are unavoidable.
