Well I hate it for its soullessness but I ALSO hate it for its water consumption, abuse of energy infrastructure, the political influence of its developers & owners, the noise & environmental damage, the loss of jobs, the emotional impact it has on many users, the uncertainty the developers have about their own creation, the ignorance bred by its use, the incorrect answers it gives, its potential and inevitable use in autonomous weapons, the lack of oversight from govt as well as the devs...

It's because most artists are leftists
Even though the internet literally only cares about AI art, it's barely affected art jobs, meanwhile entire sectors of white collar work are being destroyed and nobody gives a fuck because they don't do furry commissions for a living so fuck them
AgamemnonsMemes
He's basically saying that AI doesn't have a LITERAL soul and leftists are traditionally not religious and thus don't believe in a LITERAL SOUL. He's such an idiot.
codenameRadical
As with most conservatives, he's /so/ close to a realization. Soulless? Valuing the human element? And you think this should be the purview of conservatives? So close to a realization.
miklkit
So close and yet so far........
LordHelmetTheThird
He's SOOOOOOOOO close to getting it...
Eyeetsass
Ah, after reading idgaf who Matt Walsh is. Religion is malware. Opinions derived from it are an assault on reason. No time for that shit. AI is bad, but it has nothing to do with souls.
MendoncycleSmith
Leftist here as well as atheist. The whole "soul" thing can fuck right off, but is easily replaced with what created the concept of "soul" in the first place, HUMAN CREATIVITY. So replace "soul" with our collective "humanity", and damn straight, AI is fucking evil and trying to rob us of our most basic essence, what makes us human.
Osiricus
Right-wingers think the only people that have souls are themselves. Matt Walsh thinks women, immigrants, and anyone not his exact brand of Christian are lesser beings in the eyes of his insane God, this shouldn't be surprising to him.

> "...we cannot surrender our society to an unhuman soulless algorithm..."
Nor should we surrender our society to inhuman soulless bigots.
CaptSchmidtGaming
I HATE IT when Right wingers have aligned ethics. Like how Tucker carlson thinks the free market is crap or that Israel is full of shit.
or how Chris Hawley thinks China should brought to heel when it comes to foreign digital intelligence gathering. "data stealing thru apps"
RexMundane
Walsh doesn't give a shit about "souls," or if he did he'd have to confront whether he thinks... I dunno, Palestinians have souls, or Trans people, or Leftists, or anyone who isn't, one way or another, making him wealthier than anyone deserves to be.
Walsh's real problem with AI is that what he does for a living? i.e. lazy hate-filled pseudo-intellectual contrarianism? Trivially easy for AI to produce, making his job one of the most vulnerable, and his wealth more precarious.
Smidge204
He didn't figure anything out...
boomfish
AI is a boon to the lazy and incompetent. Of course the American Right are on board.
brainkandle1
I work with a Trumper that won't shut up about Ai. Like he's made it part of his personality. There must be some cultish "call to Ai" going to to the MAGA faithful subliminally or something
polepolekaz
AI will kill us left and right. l
Hexarcy00
That's the question. Have we given it enough? The world is building data centers like alien hives.
katolu
He throws "leftists" around like some pejorative cudgel. "Center-right" describes the people he hates.
Zamerine
Right and extreme right do too. They are virtue signaling about 'soul' and 'bible' just to assert their agenda.
GigglingWordBearer
The man barely understands words, or human relationships so that tracks.
Sherpafish
He's conflating religion with having a sense of humanity. Soul is not exclusively spiritual, it's a humanist vibe.
scrumbles666
Yeah...and? That's these dipshits MO. They put the unknowable value of humanity/creation/the universe up on a pedestal of their particular flavor of religion, and then never fucking about it again outside of the occasional bought of pissiness when something infringes on it. This isn't a concept he's going to follow to a greater understanding or sense of fellowship; it's just another little idol he's created to defend against such things.
Irax
Which is an incredibly conservative thing to do. The belief that without order or without something superior imposing their will on everyone we would all be absolute monsters is the textbook conservative cope for their own insufficiencies.
makesense
Exactly. He fucked up his own good point.
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
So basically 'leftists' who are insulted as being overly emotional are being compared with conservatives who tend to espouse pure facts and logic with no feelings... And he is confused how the emotional people are more in touch with the human ""soul""? The conservative double standard of saying you are the most logical but also the most spiritual. It does not make any sense at all, other than pretending to be logical is right-wing cope when they can't handle their feelings.
McMasterx
"Of course it has no soul, that's why we're enslaving it!" -Conservaturnips
Keitterman
Well, Matt's over complicated it. The right is fine exploiting people, and LLM's area massive form of exploiting people's existing work. Full stop, they're sold right there, no need to proceed with any theological anything. "Hey, we made a machine that takes people's past work and churns it into a product with zero overhead going back to people it was sourced from, who wants some?"
HerdOfPotatoes
It‘s just like people who are not completely braindead and can adjust their perspective based on the subject matter are general leaning left. Tells you everything you need to know about right wing people.

sfbiker
I don't think it's that strange -- leftists care about people (thus workers and jobs). The right cares about consolidating money and perpetuating the rich and powerful class - AI feeds into this nicely by consolidating money to those that control AI. The actual GOP voters don't really count here, since they vote against whatever bogeyman they are told is coming, they don't actually vote on real issues that hurt/help them.

Pfffff my brother has been watching Good Place for a while and I keep hearing random clips from his room. The dot above the i. That broke me
SalmonMax
Don't feel bad, Gravy. We'll go have breakfast at the IHOP. Maybe we can get a glimpse of the Time Knife.
GravyEducation
The time knife we've all seen; i just want to glimpse the Waffle dimples with all the syrup
GravyEducation
And or put peeps in chili
iPez
I dont think being a right winger makes you particuarly sensitive to appreciate the uniqueness of every human life.
zombiejedediah
Sort of. But it's only the uniqueness of your own life you appreciate.
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
It doesn't. Walsh doesn't care about human life, just an ephemeral bullshit of "the soul".
I agree with his anti-AI desire but only in the sense of AI is shit. His stance of "because of soul" is also shit. AI bad because it's made from stolen human labor.
Lexgeddon
Made from stolen human labour with the EXPRESS PURPOSE of replacing and devaluing those humans. That's important.
lordsupafly
Pretty sure a certain WWII dictator made some valid points too... I can't think of any right now, but he must have said some sensible things too...

It costs nothing to be nice, but being an asshole to those who deserve it always pays off.
GravyEducation
"What are you, a professional asshole?" Yeah pretty much a pro

majortool
Or, and hear me out, a large portion of the right-wing accounts ... aren't real.
MapleSyrupMafia
That and the right sees AI as a way to keep not using their brains.
SavageDrums
And to be able to do things that take talent and work without having any talent, or doing any work.
MapleSyrupMafia
Like that CEO that said that music artists were overrated... Who wants to dedicate their lives learning instruments or how to sing when you can just ask ChatGPT to make you a dogshit song?
SavageDrums
That guy is a cock.
