To be clear, we are NOT unconditionally endorsing AI in this sub, correct? The intent is to have normal and multifaceted discussions on utility, implementation, policy, theory, harm reduction, etc. from a leftist perspective, as we would with any other technology?

The subtext is that certain leftist spaces tend to reactively shut down any conversation about AI that's not outright rejecting or condemning it. I'm not "pro" AI, similar to how I'm not "pro" machine learning, "pro" computer vision, or "pro" computers. I'm here because leftist discourse on AI often collapses into "DO YOU CONDEMN AI?!".

Holy shit, I'm so glad I found this sub! I work in tech and have had no choice but to adopt and adapt to AI, so it's been frustrating to see how so much of the leftist discourse on the topic is effectively a flat out rejection of it.

That's not to say that there aren't valid concerns with AI as a technology, there absolutely are!!! I just feel like, in general, the discourse on the left lacks consideration for the increasing amount of workers who will be put into a position where they're forced to use AI in order to keep up with performance expectations.
