We forced ourselves onto you after you repeatedly said no. Why are you so upset? Look how many jobs we replaced!

Edit: This cross-post about AI potentially replacing almost 12% of jobs off the bat seems relevant.
Here’s my explanation: how you treat ChatGPT today, is how people at the top end of silicone valley have ALWAYS treated their assistants, and anyone “below” them.
They’re surprised that you don’t enjoy having the simulation of someone you can hurl abuse at, make demands of, and call an idiot - who has to stick around and take it. The perfect underling.
They’re reproducing their own lack of empathy, and surprised that YOU don’t want to be like them.
Tbf, the AI tools also don’t work right, which might have some small bearing on whether people choose to use them or not:-)
… It rather that it barely functions, yet is being forced on people everywhere, anyway.
Don’t think most people are looking into it that deeply.
