IMO, this is just the older generations thinking badly of the young. Be it rock n’ roll, D&D, internet, smartphones, or AI, the older generations will not understand the priorities, workflows, and conditions of their younger peers.
Opposing AI is like rejecting the bicycle, sickle, or calculator. The thing that people should contemplate isn’t whether to use AI, but rather how to use it. Do we want only wealthy elites to have access to AI, or should everyone be able to use it? Should we use AI to teach people, and if so, what subjects? How do we prevent people from falling into poverty? And so forth.
Outright rejection of AI is foolish, and simply means that the peoples who adapt to a world with AI, will come ahead of those who have isolated themselves.
That it is useful, and a civilization would be diminished if it doesn’t use technology. GLM 5.2, as of now, is able to almost perfectly copy Pac-Man. While this is a model that has a 700gb footprint for a Q6, we can expect future models of this ability to be usable on gamer hardware within a decade. My guess is that DDR6 RAM is roughly where we get to the turning point for local models.
What this means in practice, is that it would be much easier for non-programmers such as artists to have an local AI handle the parts of game development that they can’t do. Same goes for programmers who can’t draw worth a damn - I watched a video of Touhou EDM music, and the character depictions by an AI were quite nice looking. Individuals, provided they have the hardware, will become able to see many ideas and desires to fruition, as they don’t have to rely on acquiring other humans or venture capital.
Depending on how the cards play out, this could go a great way towards destroying capitalism as we know it. A burger flipper wouldn’t be able to pay a living salary to another person to create things - but an AI can be a much smaller investment. That same burger flipper might be able to create media or other AI assisted projects, that would otherwise be impossible on their budget or time.
Many humans claim to have imagination, but the luddites of our day seem to lack it.

A bicycle will transport me in the same manner every time I use it. A calculator will always give me the correct result of 2+2.
What was your point about AI again?
