It was just long-winded and buried, but the author's position was essentially humanist... AI is taking the jobs.

"Why couldnt they hire a specialist for a few days"

Which is question that I think is willfully ignored by the pro-ai crowd.

AI is useful. It helps people go faster at a lot of things. It's also been trained on a scale of copyright violation that exceeds all modern measures of capacity.

The implications of this are willfully ignored by those who stand to profit from it.

It is simply unethical, unfair, and devoid of empathy for society to simply "march forward" and leave behind the millions of people it spent the last 60 years demanding more of.

These problem needs to be resolved before we can morally and socially embrace AI.

It's not willfully ignored. You might not like the answer, but the position is very clear.

> It is simply unethical, unfair, and devoid of empathy for society to simply "march forward" and leave behind the millions of people it spent the last 60 years demanding more of.

We disagree. This is a luddite point that I spent my whole life disagreeing.

I think it's unethical for society to intentionally block a technology that increases productivity to protect the interests of a smaller class of professionals. I believed that when it was happening to blue-collar workers, and I'll keep believing it when it's me.

I think this is also a question that's being used rhetorically by the anti-AI crowd, without actually asking it. According to Ars Technica[1], they did consult with a Unity engineer, who couldn't solve it for them.

Ten years ago, did you believe in "copyright violation"? Did you really?

It's fine to dislike AI, it's fine to even dislike AI and not be able to articulate a reason, but I'm tired of hackers suddenly becoming the biggest defenders of IP.

> It's also been trained on a scale of copyright violation that exceeds all modern measures of capacity.

Good, hopefully we can ditch copyright entirely and move on forever. I thought that's what everybody wanted?

I think the answer to "Why couldn't they hire a specialist for a few days" is because that might not have worked. If a Unity engineer couldn't help, it's hard to imagine that paying an unknown person to help would do more.

Plus, the idea that instead of solving the problem with the solve-your-problem button, the idea that the correct answer should be "just throw a bunch of money at it and hope that works" is so silly.
