AI is not unavoidable, you don't have to "learn to live with it". You can say no.

Stop the tech authoritarianism.

I mean, why should we accept it? Why should it always be like "oh, the tech industry have its new obsession, they put it everywhere, so we all have to bow to it or learn to live with it around"? No! It doesn't have to be like that!

It is not up to us to put the cat back in its bag, the genie back in its bottle, or the horrors of Pandora's Box back into the box. We just have to adapt to these changes and make the best of them.

Don't lose hope. Consider that there may be good ways of adapting to AI. Here are a few ideas:

@purrperl What I'm saying here is more about being able to just ignore it entirely if we want to. If it's a big no to you, why should it be forced to you anyway?

Saying no should, and in that instance perfectly can (because that's software issue and there's still a massive number of softwares out there working as they always had without it) always be a choice.

If you fell in a coma, like Rip Van Winkle, in 1990, and woke up today, would you be able to get a job? Without knowledge of computers, and the Internet? You would be lost, until you caught up with the employment market, where everyone is using computers.

AI is the same way. You won't find work unless you can use it, because others are going to use it.

Here's a short film that covers that in the first 2 minutes ( the rest is just entertaining ).
