American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the ’90s

In 1998, 48% of respondents in one survey said they never used the internet. Just a few years later, weekly use was growing more normal. Now, it’s everywhere, all the time.

      That’s a sign of toxic culture, not of men wanting to be defined by what value they can bring.

        *monetary value
        (in relation to toxic culture)

        (bcs value that people actuality bring to society often isn’t fairly valued in terms of money or even not at all)

              I was paraphrasing and trying to be nice. Fine, you didn’t say humans yearn for the workplace. You said humans existentially require the workplace.

              I think if AI replaces humans in the workplace, even with UBI, humans would cease to exist shortly thereafter as our lives will have become meaningless

          Define “being useless”. It certainly seems that “being useless”, to you, it is either “not working” or “not creating monetary value”, which would be super ironic given that there are many jobs around the world that make the person feel useless or worse

          I’d say that anyone that feels the need to define themselves “by their role” has no clue on who they are or can be, needing the rest of society to direct them
