Maybe AI is bad for our current society and good for the future ones. The invention of farming was bad for guys who liked walking around in the woods but overall good for every other subsequent society. If our great-great-grandchildren were asked the question of whether we in 2024 should do away with animators so that they, our inheritors, could travel to Neptune, then I'm sure they'd say it's worthwhile.

Or...keep the animator jobs and send AI to fucking Neptune.

You haven't noticed that tech makes everything worse for subsequent generations? It keeps replacing menial jobs and adds expensive complexity to the simplest of transactions, concentrating all wealth amongst the owner class.

If our great-grandchildren travel to Neptune, it will be voluntary enslavement out of desperation.

What is your definition of "tech" here? Cause food production technology, medical technology, energy, transportation technology has made material improvements in how long and healthy lives people live, over the last 3-4 generations.
