A lot of people at my work, especially managerment, are very pro AI. I've haven't openly shared my opinion of AI/the fact that I don't use it, because the hype around AI seems almost cult like at my work. It was months before anyone brought up hallunications.

Part of me wants to share my reasons against AI at work. Some possible reasons I'm thinking of sharing are cooking the planet, you don't know when it is hallucinating so how do you trust it, critical thinking rot.

Any advice on discussing the negatives of AI at work? Or should I just keep my head down and let sloppers slop?

This is the answer tbh. I work for a paycheck. I'll do what I'm hired to do, and when I log off for the day, I don't even think about it. It's frankly just not worth making a fuss over something the company is all-in on if doing so would risk one's livelihood.

My company's going into this direction too. When I was asked if I've tried an internal AI tool (which I hadn't used and never plan to) I just said "when I tried it, i found it makes too many errors and it's more time-consuming to fix its mistakes so I don't use it". Without a union it's just not worth risking job security to go off any more than that about how much the tech absolutely fucking sucks.
