A large crop harvester is a tool, but if you used to work on a farm by hand it's not a tool you're going to get to use. It's a replacement for your labour and value, right? someone else will get to use the tool and earn money.

So the question is in what way ai is a tool to these kids.

Let's add to this comparison a bit.

Said farm workers have also been noticing headlines over the last years like:

"Crop harvester CEO predicts crop harvesting machine will wipe out millions of jobs within months"

"Crop harvester CEO: 'the crop harvester could destroy the world economy'."

"Farm lays off half its employees, pivots to crop harvester" (repeat this one about 10 times a week for months)

Then some idiot walks up to a crowd of farm hands talking about how awesome the crop harvester is.

No shit he's going to get booed lmao. He's fucking lucky they're not beating his ass into a shallow grave.
