    The problem is that they won’t.

    Yes, AI tools, in the hands of skilled people, can be very helpful.

    But “AI” in capitalism doesn’t mean “more effective workers”, it means “fewer workers.” The issue isn’t technological so much as cultural. You fundamentally cannot convince an MBA not to try to automate away jobs.

    (It’s not even a money thing; it’s about getting rid of all those pesky “workers rights” that workers like to bring with us)

      Here’s the thing. This technology is unequivocally one of the things AI would be very useful for. It can potentially do a lot of good. Yes, MBAs could screw it up like they screw anything else up in society. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be happy that we’ve created this new tech.
