    Yeah, I agree that the left and liberals are broadly opposed to AI, and the right dove in headfirst. I just don’t get how lacking the ability to spew shitty cat videos and deepfakes means we on the left are hampering our own progress.

      One of my buddies hates everything AI because it “impedes the integrity of art.” Went on a tirade about AI art being shit and everyone who uses it being shit as well.

      (This as I made an AI threesome of Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin. I also made a ladies night with AOC, Hilary, and Kamala.)

      But realistically, many on the lefts deal with AI is one part virtue signaling and many parts against how AI is being used to displace white collar workers with substandard service (Expedia, health care, etc).
