and how does that help?
serious question, i have no idea. don’t tell me to “read it up on the internet”. how do unions help when the demand for human workers is decreasing?
Because workers, and not just bosses, will get a say in where, when, and how technology is introduced. That’s what the Hollywood writers’ strike was largely about, and they won important restrictions on the use of AI, as did the screen actors guild.
Many workplaces get a bit of a shock when just too much behavior is automated out.
Example; if you heard about the recent wave of theft from department stores like Target, it’s been theorized they wouldn’t have that if the stores had more staff, even if they weren’t working security. Many tech companies have gone way downhill after removing jobs they thought they could automate.
I’ve even told my job, after they encouraged me to use AI for coding multiple times, it’s looked good in demos but has spit out unusable garbage that just briefly “looks” good many times.
Artwork, as in the comic, risks becoming sloppier as models start training off other AI art. And, some hobbyists actually make open repos not visible to humans designed to specifically pollute those AI models - just for fun.
There’s a hidden price to AI, and companies see it when they’re forced into it more and more.

ah, yeah that makes sense to me, together with what another commenter said:

explains why an union can keep the management of companies from making short-sighted decisions.
