I’m beyond tired of hearing people complain about AI. Just stop already. If you don’t like it, don’t use it, find a job where people don’t like it and work there. It’s exhausting how Luddite the tech community has unironically become.
I can't "not use it" when my VP uses an AI to decide who to lay off in the next wave of cuts.
I can't "not use it" when my governor sets up an AI review of statewide regulation to decide what regulation to remove.
"My boss says that I have to use an LLM to program" is way way way below my worries of "society's bosses use LLMs to entrench their power and abuse labor because they are upset about the labor gains made in the post-covid era."
When the boot is on the neck, you don't stop complaining until it has been removed. It's as simple as that.
With that said I think technology overall has become increasingly worse over the years in some ways. God, do I miss a TV without an OS.
So when you bring it back to big tech, you've defeated your own argument.
Bollocks. We're not talking about going to a chat bot and asking questions. That's a free choice. It's insertion into every facet of online life is unavoidable and far more destructive.
And if Apple shoves too much AI into their products I’ll drop Mac OS too.
