"We don't actually have to follow along with the narratives that tech tycoons make up for each other. We choose the tools that we use, based on the utility that they have for us...

It's telling that the creators of so many of the AI tools don't even have enough confidence in their offerings to simply let users choose to adopt them, and are instead forcing them into users' faces in every possible corner of their apps and websites."

"In the end, it's not about rejecting technology. It's about refusing to sacrifice people at its altar." David Gallaher

There's a misleading belief that you're either pro- or anti-AI, but Gallaher offers a great example of how companies should be approaching AI from a human-first perspective instead. (aka, pro-Craft)

Personally, I remain unconvinced by the vast majority of AI use cases in most industries, and believe the rush to adoption is a combination of banal FOMO and relentlessly unscrupulous PR.

It feels "inevitable" because it's being pushed everywhere — by default and often without any way to opt out — but that doesn't mean you have to find ways to make it useful, nor entertain pundits who want to convince you otherwise.
