This is pretty similar to when the disgruntled cotton spinners, put out of work at the very beginning of the industrial revolution used to break in to the factories to smash up the machinery.
You may not like it, it may cause short term problems, but AI is here to stay and it's only going to get better.
Who wants to work all-day spinning cotton now?
Unemployed people?
I mean yh, if you paid me £100,000 a year, I'd do it.
But living in the real world where you'd be earning minimum wage for work a machine can do hundreds of times faster and more consistently? You need to be realistic, why would you want to do menial labour that isn't even required.
