It's not just that discussion gets easier, it's that right now the hype cycle is so absurd and pervasive that any positive discussion about AI will echo the bourgeoisie. This is very distinct from socialism, where our message runs counter to bourgeois messaging.

When we sound like the boss, the workers aren't going to want to hear what we have to say.

I disagree, we can already see how American bourgeoisie are in panic over open models, or many positive ways this tech is applied in China right now. I think it's helpful for people to develop a deeper understanding of the subject, and it's an instructive moment where we have a sharp contradiction between the technology itself and the system of material relations we find ourselves in.

When you sound like the boss, the workers tune you out. I don't see a way to get around that.

Just don't be surprised if you can't convince the weavers to use and love the autoloom.
