While they suck in the short term in the long term lay offs are for the best since the goal is for all required labour for society to function to eventually be automated resulting in no one having to work to get by any more since robots will be taking care of everything. In general stuff like any noise pollution is incredibly minor compared to the actual major concerns surrounding AI so it would be for the best to focus more on the stuff that's really important.

You want a world where everybody loses their job to automation? You realize what a dystopian nightmare that is? People can't buy houses without jobs. And then robots will see humans as effectively useless and destroy us all.

Thinking it'd be a dystopian nightmare cause people wouldn't be able to buy houses shows that you're unable to think beyond capitalism and envision a future world massively different than the present so no different than the people a long time ago who thought that feudalism was the best system there was ever gonna be. A future society where people are able to do whatever they want with their time cause robots are doing all required labour is a concept that has been thought about for a long time so equating envisioning that optimistic future with being paid off by AI companies is laughable.
