The show is a metaphor for AI.
The indian mother can't accept that the chatbot isn't an actual person (her son is not her son).
The guy flying Airforce One knows what's up and loves it, just taking full advantage of it.
The guy from south america hates modern technology and doesn't trust it. And his life is now fucked because everything relies on it.
Carol is a writer, and AI is basically stealing people like her's jobs in real life. They show how she loses her life that she knows differently in the show, but she hates it just the same. And she has a reason to hate it.
The whole part about them starving in 10 years cause they can't create new food is AI not being able to self sustain if everything is AI cause there would be nothing AI can learn from.
Hmm. There's a guy at my work who has fully adopted AI. He has no issues with using it to write and happily consumes AI content.
I got him into Pluribus. And although he enjoyed it he couldn't understand Carol's hostility to the hive. When I pointed out we would gain utopia at the cost of human culture he just shrugged.
