Remove the word AI from the meme and you will have people in the comment section totally in support of self-checkout and self-driving trains.
The reality of the situation is that you do want these things because they’re very popular you’re just painting it with the word AI making it unfavorable on this particular platform.
Kind of. It might be more fair that enshittification is making the traditional options less favorable.
I don’t specifically want to use self-checkout, but want to avoid the lines, hassle, slowness, and pushing affiliate cards that comes with a manned checkout these days. Self-checkout is only valuable in reference to how painful it is otherwise it.
Similarly trains : I don’t care what’s driving since I never come into contact with them but I prefer they not run off the tracks while texting and that they stop consistently. I especially hate when the ticket booth is empty and there’s no other way to pay. The kiosk is at least always there
Trains are already as “self driving” as they can safely be and with how many people a train can move compared to how few people need to manage one, there’s already not much reason to go fully automate.

Denmark’s metro’s are fully automated and it’s amazing.
Automation is good, there’s just a teething period.
We mostly automated sewing and dishwashing which put people out of jobs, but in the long term it’s been good
