Good post. There is also the cult factor with the current AI/LLM euphoria in where Silicon Valley is selling their ML tech as an omnipresent god and everyone must bow to its superintelligence.
The second level is about attacking the idea of solidarity and connection: Because “AI” will not replace you (again, “AI” cannot replace the absolute majority of workers!) “but someone using AI will”. This sets up kind of a Thunderdome in which we all have to fight against each other for scraps/jobs. This framing implies that you should not unionize and connect with your fellow workers but that you should see them as your enemies, as the people who will take your job and your ability to provide for your family. We know this dynamic, it’s exactly how the right presents migration as “attack”. It also normalizes violence again turning all of existence into an endless fight against one another (unless you are one of the few people in power of course).
This is the latest attempt at socially engineering a cattle pen, atomize everyone into only trusting chatbots and you have a very malleable population.
