Not trying to defend the AI hype train here, but isn't this the case for basically every new technology: steam engines replaced muscle labor, computers replaced people doing the calculations, the internet replaced many different occupation.

And for the most part we are better off now. Calling someone in a different country, let alone on another continent was crazy expensive just a few decades ago. Lemmy is built on these technology and would not be possible if all had to be done by human labor (a literal mailing list?).

Having said that I think the main issue with AI (LLMs) or the internet at the moment is regulation or the lack of it.
