I am wonder why leftists are in general hostile towards AI. I am not saying this is wrong or right, I just would like someone to list/summarize the reasons.

It’s being shoved at us.
Most new tech starts with a narrow legit use csse or an enthusiast culture and gradually works to a breakout moment where everyone wants it. Think of cars in 1900 vs 1925 or home computers in 1976 vs 1999. Also note plenty of new tech fails to go mainstream no matter how much effort went into it. 3D TVs, turbine locomotives, non-photovoltaic solar: they tried but didn’t really make it.
Capital has decided AI will be the next thing and they want it now, so they refuse to let the process run. They can’t wait for a product that solves real faults with the current designs (inefficiency, hallucinations) or does something people actually want (nobody asked for extra fingers) before stuffing it in everything.
