Why? AI and technology in general absolutely replaces human labor. For me, the hate is that is coming extremely rapidly and there is little thought from anyone about what's going to be next. A post scarcity society is inching ever closer, and individuals are just pissed about the system, governments can't do anything, and the owners are figuring out how to monetize it all. Seems like we are cooked if we don't all start working on ideas of what society looks like when very few need to actually 'work', or a larger portion of society cannot work. Because even without AI or technological advancements, the population is rapidly aging and simply will not be able to work.
Gen AI is not going to replace humans.
It already is, especially at the entry level, which is a massive problem. You went to college, have the education but don't have the skills, and an AI bot can do essentially 80% of your work, with little of the cost. Think about all the people already putting websites, marketing, images together that otherwise you would need to pay someone for. No need to pay for them, even if they do a better job, because most of the time you aren't looking for 100% when 80% will do. That's the unfortunate reality that we all live in.
