When I was a kid, computers expanded your mind and your freedoms, bringing power to the individual. With AI, now it does the thinking for you, takes your job, gives power only to a few billionaires.

Well sure every new technology to some extent replaces jobs, but that wasn't my primary thesis.

My primary thesis is that it is disempowering us, and centralizing power in a handful of billionaires. Personal computers in those days were empowering to the individual, whereas AI is empowering only for a handful of billionaires and disempowering for most other people.

I don't remember anyone complaining back then that personal computers were taking their power and autonomy away and giving it to billionaires.
