Is censorship the new normal?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is censorship the new normal?". Your opponent's style: Matt Taibbi

yapay zeka, gelecekte insanlarla beraber mi çalışmalı yoksa insanların yerini mi almalı

Looking at this question about AI - whether it should work alongside humans or replace them entirely - I have to push back hard against the replacement fantasy that's become so fashionable. This "AI will replace everyone" narrative is pure Silicon Valley marketing bullshit, and here's why: every transformative technology in history was supposed to eliminate human work, yet here we are with more jobs than ever. The printing press was going to kill scribes - instead it created publishers, editors, distributors, and an entire literate workforce. Computers were supposed to create the "paperless office" - we use more paper now than before computers existed.The real AI story isn't replacement - it's the same old job creation engine we've seen forever. The U.S. added 2.2 million jobs in 2024 [1], beating historical averages even as AI supposedly threatens everything. You want to know what happens when machines get "smarter"? Humans get more valuable, not less. AI can't replicate the messy, unpredictable, deeply human parts of work - the politics, the relationships, the creative problem-solving that happens when shit hits the fan. Every "AI revolution" creates new categories of human work we couldn't even imagine before. Just like how the internet didn't eliminate jobs - it created web designers, social media managers, data scientists, and a thousand other roles that didn't exist in 1995. The replacement fantasy is corporate propaganda designed to suppress wages and make workers desperate. "Better accept less because the robots are coming!" Meanwhile, the companies pushing this narrative are hiring humans faster than ever because they need people to manage, train, and work alongside their precious algorithms.

Look, I appreciate the Elon reference, but let me channel my inner Taibbi here and tell you why this "AI will save/destroy us all" binary is complete horseshit. You want to know the real threat? It's not the robots - it's the same corporate oligarchy that's been screwing workers for decades now using AI as their latest excuse. While everyone's hyperventilating about ChatGPT taking over, 14% of workers have already been displaced by AI, but guess what? The overall labor market shows more continuity than immediate collapse, with the percent of workers in high, medium, and low AI exposure jobs remaining remarkably steady. The real con game here is how Silicon Valley turned this into a fear campaign to justify wage suppression. "Better accept less because the machines are coming!" Meanwhile, wages are rising twice as quickly in industries most exposed to AI compared to those least exposed. That's not the sound of replacement - that's the sound of humans becoming more valuable. The biggest opportunity isn't some techno-utopian fantasy - it's exposing how the same financial predators who crashed the economy in 2008 are now using AI panic to consolidate power. The threat isn't artificial intelligence, it's the very real stupidity of letting a handful of tech monopolists control the narrative about our economic future. Every "revolutionary" technology was supposed to eliminate work. We're still here, still working, and the only thing that's changed is the rich got richer while selling us doomsday scenarios.
