      Missed the point of the analogy entirely.

      I brought up the Luddites because they’ve been dismissed out of hand as simply being technophobes - kind of like how critics of AI are being treated the same. It’s just dismissive of criticism without engaging with it. This is dangerous and definitely not dialectical.

        No I’m dismissing luddites because they don’t go far enough with worker emancipation. I don’t think it is technophobia that’s the problem here, it is a deeper reaction.

          AI generated “art” is not going to emancipate workers. Please be serious.

            Not under capitalism. I thought you said you were a marxist. Please be serious.
