What commenters say

• The value of humans should not be measured by their output or abilities, but rather recognized as inherent and unconditional.
• The use of AI can lead to the devaluation of human labor and the exacerbation of classism and inequality.
• The concept of 'AI slop' refers to the creation of substantial form without discernible intent, which can be produced by both humans and AI.
• The idea that humans are valuable because they can produce high-quality output is flawed, as it is conditional on the current human-AI capability gap.
• The billionaire class does not necessarily support policies that benefit the general population, and their actions and values are often at odds with the well-being of others.
• The optimization of the billionaire class through AI could potentially lead to a more equal distribution of wealth and resources.
• The notion that humans have inherent value and dignity is not necessarily tied to religious or spiritual beliefs, but can be supported by philosophical and secular arguments.
• The increasing use of AI may lead to a reevaluation of what it means to be valuable and contributing members of society.
