I was asked whether I use any AI.
When I said that I don't need it, I was given a strange look and was called primitive/a madman.
Is humanity really that far gone that we have to rely on a data collecting machine by big tech to be our second brain?
It seems that people have gotten too lazy to even look something up online.
Edit: "b-but he bombed people" I in no way compare myself to the Unabomber and only agree on his take of humanity becoming slaves of the tools they depend on.
I'm in IT. And I don't use AI. I do troubleshooting, repair, all the way to infrastructure and installation of entire companies. No need for it. My brother on the other hand is in software development and graphic design and he can't stop talking about it and it's use cases. He was even trying to encourage me to use it to plan out wiring. I simply said no that's idiotic.
Same here, my dad tries to force it down my throat despite me saying I hate it for ever since the whole ChatGPT thing started. I'd much rather take up farming than degrade myself to this low
