I think LLMs are neat and useful tools in some circumstances. So I don't hate "AI", I hate the billionaires who are pushing it down our throats, or trying to replace us.

I don't think that is a very helpful talking point either. Replacing workers with machines has been a thing for centuries and isn't by itself a bad thing.

Using unverified AI for anything actually business critical is a very bad management decision though and any company that does that deserves the consequences. Using AI as replacement for eg. stock photos or video CGI? That is not a bad idea at all.

That's true, for me the main issue with any automation under capitalism is that it brings yet more power to the corpos and the billionaires and takes away power from the labor.

In this particular case it also sucks because the end product of genAI is soulless slop, and video genAI is quite a power hog. I agree that it's ok for assisting developers/writers/artists/video editors in boring repetitive tasks.
