Even as an American, I’m well aware of the history around surveillance in Britain. V for Vendetta was largely a commentary on it, Radiohead has made some references to government/corporate oversight in their albums, etc.

By that logic, isn’t it just as problematic when both parties are 40 but there’s a significant salary imbalance between them? Even more so when the lower-earning partner has something else to keep them stuck, like their own dependent children.

I think the point is that it actually hurts an ethics-based anti-AI argument to also claim that it has no utility, because the no-utility argument is weak and therefore makes the rest of the stance (i.e., the ethics-based argument) look weak by association.
