ProI support giving users the choice between AI and non-AI services and products.
But workers protesting the use of AI in their industries are dumb in my opinion.
AI is going to change a lot of industries forever and there is almost nothing workers and unions can do currently to actually stop the progress.
I even had seen some worker unions who are protesting AI use, accept working with companies that use AI and I support them, Because they won't be taken seriously if they did not do that.
In short: I think workers should protest workers conditions and wages, rather than protesting technology.
AI adaptation is inevitable.
I mean AI has an impact on the workplace. And on workers and human labour. So I think it is core business for unions. But I get what you say. It's difficult. I still think it's warranted to go on a writers guild strike like in Hollywood. Or be pissed if you're a freelancer doing art or design.
Also that's exactly what unions are about. Imagine assembly line work. And people advocating that it needs some rules. And a bathroom break. We regularly complain about technology at the workplace?!
