The upside is some people have had their minds changed about this subject over time, which makes me think it’s worth it at least going through it. The downside is every time we have to deal with uncharacteristic levels of vitriol.
It’s a good example of how one can believe in the theory, but still have issues seeing how the culture they’re immersed in impacts them. Like how common talking points for anti go in the direction of definitions about art, but don’t take into account how art has been defined by capitalist culture over time; the premise of it starts from the status quo and proceeds from there, rather than trying to work out a communist view of art first and then looking at how “AI” impacts it. I suspect this is because anti talking points have largely come from people who are not remotely in the realm of marxism and are basically just trying to bludgeon in whatever way they think will work to keep the status quo going as is.
