I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything

If you use AI, you should be put in jail.

I’m not being hyperbolic. I think AI usage is a crime against humanity. And you can hem and haw all you want, but I have never used AI, and I have actively refused to use it at my places of work, and I will continue to do so. AI is only inevitable if you roll over and die about it.

I am saying that if I or my colleagues refused to use it we would be fired and my friends have spent over 6 months trying to find a job after tech layoffs associated with the rise of gen AI. Condemning AI usage at a consumer level does not change the fact that the issue stems from capitalistic greed. Hope this helps.
