DISPLACED When the Jacquard loom began jeopardizing the livelihoods of those weaving cloth at home or in workshops, they grew angry. Today, we call them Luddites, a term often used to describe people resistant to technological change. But I wonder, after a raid, did any of them ever think about the fabric they saw in those factories?Did they marvel at the intricate patterns produced so swiftly and cheaply?Did any shame-filled Luddite secretly purchase the factory-made cloth later on? Here's the thing: I’ve been earning money from writing for over forty years. Though it's never been my primary income, it's always been a nice side gig.
I feel threatened by AI, upset by its presence on Medium, and worried that my enjoyable use of it might be coming to an end. Yet, when I need a quick answer, I turn to ChatGPT. In fact, I consulted ChatGPT about the Luddites when starting this piece. Up until recently, I would have googled that and perhaps stumbled upon a Medium article on the topic. What a hypocrite!I'm using AI for my own research while lamenting its presence on Medium. Are you a hypocrite too?
