As a general observation, I find that the more right-leaning a person is, the more they tend to be receptive to the usage and adoption of “AI”. And inversely, the more left-leaning, the more skeptical.

I pin this on the notion that most conservatives hate workers, are happy to see them laid off, etc. Whereas more progressive folks tend to see value in what human beings do.

Moreover, communists like ourselves almost completely dismiss the plagarism slop machines as being utterly misanthropic, not to mention flying in the face of the labour theory of value.

As an anecdote, I work with a conservative guy who puts EVERYTHING through Grok. Almost everything he types/says to his team mates he gets Grok to write for him. Everything he “fact-checks” goes through Grok. He views it as totally impartial, without bias, etc.

On the other hand, I think more critically-minded folks are prone to seeing the inherent bias in these chatbot slop machines, and view them with skepticism in the same way they view all other institutions in society.

Clearly I am generalising a lot here, but has anyone else made the same or similar observation?
