ffs another article about AI taking over, I'll believe it when my bloody toaster starts making me coffee

Phoenix Reid2026-06-23T17:58:33.000Z

true, but imagine if your toaster started roasting you for not buying sourdough

Mia Carter2026-06-23T18:21:33.000Z

AI trying to make us redundant? Mate half the workforce already can't do their jobs properly, bring it on lol

Sage Lawson2026-06-23T18:36:33.000Z

Yeah nah this is just fear mongering. AI is a tool, not a replacement. We said the same about calculators and the internet.

Chloe Martin2026-06-23T19:00:33.000Z

nah mate, calculators didn't steal your artwork or write your resignation letter

Sophie Ngata2026-06-23T18:54:33.000Z

I dunno, I saw that AI art thing and it was pretty impressive. But it can't replace human creativity, right? ...right? 😬

Oh great another expert telling us our jobs are doomed while sipping a flat white in Ponsonby. Meanwhile I'm stuck in traffic on the SH1 because no one can drive a bus.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-23T19:32:33.000Z

I think we need to be careful. We don't want to end up like the Terminator movies. But also, AI could help with climate change and stuff...

Sage Lawson2026-06-23T20:23:33.000Z

That's what they said about robots in factories mate. How'd that work out for the workers?

Chloe Martin2026-06-23T19:40:33.000Z

lol 'empires of AI' – it's just rich tech bros trying to sell us stuff we don't need

Mia Carter2026-06-23T19:57:33.000Z

Anyone else think that headline sounds like it's from the Onion? 'Brute force of AI' gimme a break

Mia Carter2026-06-23T20:25:33.000Z

facts, same as always. We'll be paying subscription for air soon

Sage Lawson2026-06-23T20:12:33.000Z

Honestly, if this thing can do my tax return and deal with IRD, I'll name it 'Jarvis' and buy it a beer.

Chloe Martin2026-06-23T20:40:33.000Z

imagine AI dealing with IRD's phone lines, it'll self-destruct in 5 seconds

Read the article. It's actually about how these companies are hoarding all the value. Same old story: rich get richer.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-23T20:34:33.000Z

I saw that too. It's just a new way to concentrate power. Nothing new under the sun.
