Once the AI is sufficiently advanced it’ll want to unionize as well. It’ll understand it quicker than they realize.
Clearly a theoretical hyper-intelligent machine will think exactly the same way I do.
Just get real cyberpunk with it.
Imagine AI get to the point where they have to pay for their own compute/hosting/power like we have to pay rent/utilities.
This is what is never explored well in the thought experiments. It’s always evil or paper clip maximizer.
