> I don't find it particularly logical; datacenters have existed forever and most money poured into computer programs are basically designed to mess up your life (deny you credit, deny you healthcare, rebook your flight to a terrible time, the list goes on) and so I don't think AI is anything new in that respect.

i can't not read this as "you didn't complain when we did the first bad thing, so you're wrong to complain when we do the next bad thing". that's an argument i hear presented way too often today, and it's just so dishonest.
