A quick look suggests it's a bit defeatist though. AI uses a lot less energy than commuting to work, and doesn't need as many works of art as companies are currently throwing at it. IMO the goal of some discussions is to discourage average people from using tools that could rebalance society. What if we embrace AI and use it to amplify humanity? Where are the cyberpunk poets? Hopefully we didn't leave them in the 90s
