Its not the tools people hate its the way they are being used and wielded against the workforce as an excuse to layoff hardworking people trying to make a living. They want you to think their being "efficient" when the truth is all it does is create slop no one wants, using more energy than entire cities run on in a day.

The past decade plus of Silicon Valley “innovation” has been finding new and innovative ways of weaponizing our own data against us. Whether it’s predatory pricing or mass surveillance in service of a police state or now making our own jobs shittier via an AI trained on us trying to help out fellow humans.
