A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Socializing is more than only talking about what you want to talk about. Also, especially in a work setting with people of different tastes and backgrounds, sometimes something as seemingly asinine as this topic is the only thing a handful of people can find common ground with. Small talk is called small talk for a reason, Conan and Dave never engaged in small talk.
I know what socialising is, thanks.
I also know that chatgpt can be better than an asinine conversation with people I work with.
I think that's the point op is trying to make. AI may have some legit uses, but it simply can't replace conversation and human connection, and it really is strange when a person uses it to replace human interaction. It's like only eating junk food. Sure, you feel full, but you're not getting what you need.
I'm not saying I think it's wrong to be introverted and not want to engage with others, just that using AI to bridge the gap between yourself and others when you do engage can come across as weird, thoughtless, and potentially flat out insulting.
It isn't introvertion.
OP said 'what animal would you be if you were an animal?'
It is insulting to expect everybody to engage in conversation any time some moron expects it.
The respondent, reasonably said 'I'll ask chatgpt' which is a polite way of saying 'I'm not interested in this shite, Bore off, I'm not eight, leave me alone.'
OP then came online to make a big deal about it, claiming the respondent used chatgpt rather than socialising. Which itself is evidence of OP's character and evidence as to why one might not want to engage with the boring **** at work.
Wrong. The only thing there is evidence they did is use chatgpt to deflect a fucking boring conversation.
Now please leave me alone. This is all fucking obvious. I am just blocking any respondents to this message in order to avoid timewasting, thanks.
Edit - oh this is an anti-ai sub. OK, so anything done with ai is automatically bad, you have chosen a side and that is that.
:There is much to dislike about 'ai' technology - primarily its energy use, but the claims of intelligence is also something reasonable to dislike. There is much more to dislike about the people who own 'ai' and the uses they want to put it to, but that is neo-liberal capitalism you should be angry at, not 'ai'. This sub is misguided at best. Block it is.
