People are sick of the AI thing.
More jobs are removed than created by AI.
Data centers driving up local rental/energy bills and heating up the local weather, only creating short term construction jobs, but do not take many people to run them
Videos after 2023 (even mundane cat videos) have to be constantly verified due to hyper realistic AI fake videos
RAM shortages because the companies now only sell to each other
Government corruption and consistently siding with AI tech lords
The shit about AI creating more new jobs than it replaces is a lie. In Hong Kong, software development experienced 90% reduction in demand (job postings) between 2022 and 2024
Yes, AI won't replace all jobs, but it will increase the productivity of people using them, which means that bosses will hire fewer people, meanwhile makin the exhausted wokrers work more
Improvement in productivity does not scale fairly with compensation, high paying roles are stashed or have their payings cut.
AI should have remained conversational chatbots only for everyday people (which can help navigate controversial topics and edge cases, due to internet censorship after 2020)
The second image/video generation became a thing, the world has gone to shit
Laws are too slow to stop harmful AI capabilities like video generation
I'm a software developer forced into wildly different frameworks in high risk apps, like Android apps, Unreal C++, drones, niche industrial js libraries, and conventional apps, making features that are straight up not stopped but forced (like re-rendering the whole map just to simulate animations in some map libraries that do not support them). It's exhausting having to switch different framework and 'owning' many different apps, that I'm expected to fix/add new features because I'm the only one who started these apps from ground up and working on them.
I don't care about AI slop code, but the workload increase is notable and we don't get pay raises for that.
