    I hear you, but aren’t pro-points 1 and 4 something we already have via good old automation? Can it even get any better on those points by using the-technology-currently-known-as-AI?

    Same for con-points 1, 2, 4, really. Thinking of automation for point 1 (human assembly lines vs robotic used in car manufacturing, for instance). And stuff like social media algorithms have been around and exploiting one class for the benefit of another for quite a bit now. Though, admittedly, point 4 can always get worse.

        Hey now, LLMs have um… a presence… here, too.

        Though to be fair, it’s probably something I’d ask ChatGPT as well, just to see how it works.

        Honestly, I can’t tell anymore. Didn’t do any sort of work, just hit reply.

      AI, or any other tool, isn’t intrinsically bad or oppressive. In my opinion, in this context, it would be more valuable to concentrate efforts towards better work legislation, rather than solely focusing on regulating AI (which needs to be done regardless).
