I have two words to counter your one word:
STRAW MAN.

And yes you are a luddite. It’s not name calling to point out that the person vehemently shouting against the evils of technology is quoting an old failed point of view on life. Everything that has built your comfortable life was protested against with the same arguments you’re using now. They were wrong then, you’re wrong now.

It's only a straw man because you have no valid counter for it, while you ignored the rest of the post. ROFL!!!

Your assumptions are funny to the point of being ridiculously absurd. You've no idea what I do for a living and if you did you'd be eating those words with a healthy dose of crow.

I specialize in disruptive technologies. Those are the technologies that aren't even considered 'bleeding edge' yet they're so new.

Unlike you, I prefer to think for myself and not cede that to a machine that's been pre-programmed with a known set of variables and a "learning algorithm" created by flawed human beings who themselves incapable of thinking through every permutation of every variable of every action and then creating computer code to accomplish an impossible task.

But you go right on ahead with your assertions. ;-)

Have a nice life letting a machine with a computer algorithm doing your thinking for you. It'll probably do a better job anyway.
