Comment on Future generations will look at people who fear AI/Robots the same as how we today view people who fear other races/ethnicities

  Yeah was going to say, there’s certainly aversion to tech that can be paralleled assuming AI has a positive future state. But yeah, WIFI, Cellphones, television, radio waves, all things people feared without propor understanding, that are now standard parts of reality.

  If hypothetically AI etc… gets close to actual sentience, artificial life may begin the culture war of attempting for personhood, fight for rights etc… in which case there will be a discussion, and assuming like all past personhood battles in the end AI is decided to have reached actual status of living… then yes those who are late to the bandwaggon and continuing to fight will be viewed just like our racists homophobes etc… But there is very little evidence that any current day AI has anything resembling feelings, wants desires etc… and just because this may be the predicessor to an AI that will. doesn’t make hating chatgpt any worse than hating a doorbell.

    Very few paranoiacs feared wifi… By that point generations were used to RF tech. That was just those folks who don’t know how anything works, so always think the worst.
