>but would people hate AI if it became better than them but didn’t replace them? That’s an easy no;

Yes they will. Jealousy. But they'd never admit it. What are you proud of? What skill do you value and identify yourself with? Say AI did it 1000x better than you but some law was in place to prevent it from replacing you. You'd love that law, and you'd make up some excuse to to hate AI.

>Big Blue and AlphaGo didn’t cause mass hatred

Excuses. Just think a little rather then finding some obvious surface level reasoning that fits within your own bias. First nobody hates those things because it's only a select niche that takes pride in their chess or go skills. Those people will hate alphago if alphago was a direct challenge to their identity as a player. But laws are in place to prevent that as in tournaments only allow humans. Why are such laws in place? Because go and chess are just games. They produce no intrinsic value so it doesn't hurt the bottom line if you restrict AI in that case.

This isn't the case for programming and any other field out there that can be replaced by AI. Ai will be directly attacking a business skill you use to pay the rent and it is currently challenging my identity as a programmer. And laws to restrict this will be actively fought against because monetarily and utility wise there is actual real world benefits to AI.

But why do I even need to spell this out to you? You're not mentally deficient. You're not stupid. All of this is obvious. Why do I have to literally tell you why your example is biased when it is OBVIOUS. It's because you're lying to yourself. You subconsciously avoided the obvious reasoning above. You chose convenient rationale to fit the narrative YOU want. Nobody hates "alphago" lol, did you see that koreans guy face when alphago fucking dominated his ass? Come on bro.

That is the reality. And you are denying it. When there's two people in disagreement and one of them is lying to themselves... how do we know which one it is? The lie is so convincing that both people believe in it.

I'll tell you the best way to determine this. The best way is to see which persons reasoning aligns with their identity and biases. Which person is constructing a logical scaffold that is optimistic? Because lies are told to cover up the horrors of reality. Guess what? I'm a programmer. I hate AI. But I cannot lie to myself. You? Probably made up all kinds of lies about how you're not afraid of AI taking over your job cuz AI can't do this... or that... or whatever bs to help you sleep at night.

I don’t think your argument around jealousy holds as much weight as you think it does. I’d encourage you to revisit your logic and work through the implications for yourself. Does it need to be AI to provoke this response? Would another human being better provoke this same response? What conditions actually trigger it?

I’d also recommend you read more about Lee Sedol’s matches against AlphaGo. I don’t think your description of it syncs up with the actual event, and certainly isn’t supported by his post-AlphaGo performance.

Finally, most of your post isn’t really supporting the point you’re trying to make. In particular, “Ai will be directly attacking a business skill you use to pay the rent” is just restating what I’m arguing. If you misunderstood my position that badly, it would be good to take stock of your own position, because I really think that the core of it - people hate AI because it’s threatening their livelihood - is pretty obviously correct, and you just need to remove the breathless hyperbole from your thesis to get something that most people already agree with.
