@tbn32 Show me a LLM that wasn't trained off of creative theft and we can talk! I see them no different than an attempt to enclose the creativity of humans within the bounds of economics.

I theoretically agree that any tool can be an instrument of liberation or oppression, but the usage of tools in cultures and societies have ramifications, and they are designed within the context of society.

Computers, the internet, XR, and "AI" are all the tools that one can argue could aid in liberation or oppression, but I believe computers and the internet have made the world less liberated while in the hands of large corporations and I don't see how XR or "AI" will be any different.

As far as I know there's no "AI" that doesn't have huge power and water draws, isn't built off of creative theft, and that is in the hands of an entity to benefit the public good.

Practically, until a tool can be shown to be good overall, it's hard for me to give any technology the benefit of the doubt.

Theoretically though, I agree with you.
