This is a disingenuous take: The title would be more apt if it just said, "Why hire anyone when you can just use AI?"

Trying to turn it into an example of minority oppression is a big stretch. AI will be used replace all races, sexes, and ethnicities of DJs. Not just minority DJs.

I can excuse racism, but I can't excuse the implication I might be in any way tangential to racism

and that starts with first apologising to you for what I'm about to do, which is engage in one of the worst social patterns and false logic modes of engagement that plagues forums

okay. with that out of the way. on to the meat.

I'm sorry you fuckin wot m8?

did you ever fucking pay any attention whatsoever to the details here? are you so fucking thoroughly up your own goddamn ass that you do not see the problem here?

Hah! I made this logo about thirty years ago. If anyone copied someone, the Rust folks copied me.

riskable, sibling, please take this as advice:

you should’ve stuck to things you know like the coefficient of friction of PETG, magnetic field interactions, or any other topic where your output isn’t this absolute buffoon shit

You are very close to seeing the problem here, which is: when one of us is oppressed, we are all oppressed.
