I am wonder why leftists are in general hostile towards AI. I am not saying this is wrong or right, I just would like someone to list/summarize the reasons.

Thank you for the explaination, by leftists I meant the ones I met most frequently, that is, the lemmy community :)
See to me, Lemmy at its most left barely qualifies as left wing from what I see.
I’ve seen a lot of people cosplaying as leftists here, but prick an American leftist and they typically bleed a fascist.
What would you consider ‘left’ then?
People actually doing something instead of raging on social media to “raise awareness”. People actually engaging the supposed beneficiaries of their (usually middle-class white) largesse. People less interested in labelling and finger-pointing and more interested in getting out there, getting their hands dirty, and helping.
What are you actually doing?
How do you know what people do or don’t do on this site? You seemed to be having issues with people’s opinions, not their actions in your original comment.
Join progressive victory if you want to do something.
This is exactly the type of thing ZDL was criticizing. I don’t think siphoning energy towards a Democratic Party PAC is what they had in mind when talking about doing something.
PV is easy and realistic. It’s not the best, but most people don’t want to be in jail for killing a ceo. People need easy ways to make the world better, otherwise they’ll just sit at home and do nothing.
That would entail going to the USA which I decided I would never set foot in again … IN 1999.
As to how I know what people do or don’t do? In the broader sphere, I look at results. And there aren’t any. Well, sorry, there are. All negative. The English “left” gave us Brexit and now Keir Starmer. The American “left” gave us two terms of Trump and the world’s latest Nazi state.
I’ll believe there’s a meaningful American (and British) “left” when I see it. Until then, it’s basically a rounding error in terms of influence.
