- Tech companies misunderstand why people dislike AI, focusing on sci-fi fears rather than ethical concerns.
- Author's aversion to AI is not about 'The Singularity' or job loss but about antisocial behaviors AI enables.
- Concerns include misinformation, nonconsensual pornography, and industry displacement without income replacement.
