I use AI at work everyday. If it went away the only thing that would change is I’d just go back to googling stuff

Me, a Meth Addict, constantly trying to blow meth smoke in your face and stab you with meth needles: "You're going to have a pretty hard time getting by without it!"

Definitely. I haven't even begun to use it yet and its already pissing me off. If I touch the phone in just the wrong way it starts doing AI at me. Turns out it starts doing AI at me if I hold the power button down to turn it off. Imagine my anger.

Every time I turn my Windows laptop on it throws more and more copilot bollocks at me that I dont need or want and dont have the time to try and disable so I just have to spend the whole time fighting it off like a dog trying to hump my leg when I'm trying to cook dinner.

Um did buddy not exist before AI? We got this far without it so...

All of these people that want to end billionaires, or reduce their accumulated wealth, I have one question: if billionaires disappeared tomorrow would you still get through an entire day of your life? Imagine if the rich were eaten? Would you really be willing to give them up?

Work in cybersecurity. Don't use AI. Thanks to AI all the search engines are fucked.

Please let it die.

I'm 50. I would do just fine without AI like I did when we didn't have the Internet. I'll adjust. It might be a pain without GPS, Google Maps. Being without a cell phone would be a big one for me as well. It's not like we have pay phones anymore. And I would have to go back to pagers/beepers. But i would manage either way.

This is the 3rd of 4th time recently that I've heard someone, directly or indirectly, describe AI like meth. The first one was Hank Green when he said something along the lines of getting hooked on 'being able to get things done faster,' which is exactly how many people end up meth-heads.

This betrays such a lack of imagination (and probably empathy), as he is completely incapable of conceiving that people don't use LLMs as much as he does.

Haters are absolutely people that use it all the time but are against it? For clout? To simply hate on something?

God please make ai go poof maybe there'd be some tiny chance of me getting a job after college (probably not)

I dig trenches with a shovel. There is no USB port on my shovel. I thank the almighty gods for that small blessing.

I'm not anti-AI, but I'm most definitely anti-corporate greed. I wish there was moderation in all of this. I wish there were regulations instead of letting companies blindly buy hardware before it's even made based on what they or their competitors might be doing 2 years from now. Fuck that.

With that said, yes, AI is a helpful tool, yes, I'm using it every day at work, and yes, I can do without it no problem - just like I have for many many years.

What's scary is that AI as a service is really expensive, and the AI companies have been selling tokens as a severe loss all this time.

If you're that dependent on AI, what happens when you have to bear the full price?

You're going to give up your AI girlfriend, is what.

Last time I sullied my fingers with a copilot prompt, it decided lobster was vegan so I immediately scrapped that idea and went back to real intelligence. I would be 100.00% delighted if "AI" disappeared.

Anti-ai influencers using ai to complete their videos.

I did the job before without it so yeah.

If it were banned, would it matter if you "willing" to give it up? Dumbass question.

And yes, I could do my job easily.

The fuck was this clown doing 5 years ago? 10? Begging for change until slightly more advanced chat bots could do his "job" for him? What the fuck?

AI is just more social enslavement fuckery
