A political opinion piece arguing that left-wing ideology should actually support AI and LLMs rather than oppose them. The author outlines five pro-AI arguments from a left-wing perspective: LLMs as disability aids for neurodivergent and mobility-impaired people, tools for chronically ill patients to navigate a dismissive medical establishment, equalizers that give working-class people access to 'dangerous professional' communication styles, private tutors that democratize education, and the observation that frontier models already exhibit left-leaning tendencies. The author concludes that disability rights and anti-class-bias arguments are the most compelling, and includes a reader quote about how computers transformed a visually impaired person's life.
