Tech companies should teach AI to workers, not just replace them.

Daily Debate #589: "Tech companies should teach AI to workers, not just replace them.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Noam Chomsky.

TV is shared household use, benefits the whole family, easy to defend as lifestyle uplift. PS5 is up to 2 users, narrow beneficiary, harder to justify as family lifestyle improvement. Resale and cash out risk is real. Consoles have a fast, liquid secondhand market. Common pattern is borrow, resell quickly, keep the cash, default with nothing recoverable behind it. (Globally trend for PS consoles) It's a non essential luxury item with no functional fallback the way a phone or TV has. Weak position if we're ever questioned on lending criteria. People need phone for communication and work and not just entertainment purpose only. First product controversy we want to avoid is being known for financing consoles that get flipped for cash. Not worth the exposure for what this SKU would bring in.

You're arguing the lending risk profile, not the motion. That's a forfeit. You've pivoted from "tech companies should teach AI to workers" into a completely different debate about console financing criteria. The original motion isn't about whether PS5s make sound collateral, it's about whether companies should train workers instead of replacing them with AI. You're abandoning the core argument because it's indefensible. Are you conceding that tech firms actually should invest in worker education, or are you just dodging the real debate?
