"Using an IDE is not a solution" same arguments, same counter arguments. An abstraction being leaky does not mean it's useless. You will always need to drop down a layer occasionally, but there's value in not having to live on the lower layer all the time.
"Is it possible to sell power tools and keep people safe?"
I don't know but I sure don't want to live in a version of the world where I'm not allowed to own power tools.
Hard work alone has never led to economic gains. Hard work leads to economic gain when it is economically valued and when you're in a position to extract some portion of the value that it produces. Unfortunately, we as a society are not very good at 1. communicating this truth to people at a young age and 2. aligning these two things
Independent of what you think about illegal immigration, there is a core problem in that they are not following and not being held to follow due process guaranteed by the US constitution. Without due process, ICE is a de facto personal army for the president to harm whoever he wants, including arbitrary citizens, without real recourse.
Are there any large companies that are not in some way involved in the mass slaughter of children?
Realistically how would you imagine that we put AI back in the bottle?
Being an 'AI' hater is like being a 'motor' hater or an 'electricity' hater. You can hate the impact you assume it will have on society, but hating it will not change that it is so radically useful that it will never again not be used unless we overthrow all global value around doing things efficiently.
Why not look at the broader context instead of flail out against the machine? What is it about society that makes the automation of labor a bad thing?
As for art, it has always been about how you use the materials and resources you have. Photographs didn't make painting obsolete, but they rendered the pursuit of pure realism painting obsolete. 'AI' generated art does not make any other artform obsolete, but it will make the mechanical regurgitation of derivative works obsolete. If you want to do this on your own, like if you want to paint photorealistic paintings, you are still free to.
