@mookie yep. Even tech companies who aren't (yet) laying off their engineers are saying, "use it to your maximum ability, or you know where to find the exit."
Ain't life just fucking GRAND?
No but real????!?!? I was under the impressiom I was gonna be pushed drugs all the time as a teen and I wasn't offered them ONCE
Now I can't go two seconds without someone shoving an AI "assistant" on my face against my will
Now we need anti AI PSA's in the same style as those old anti drug PSA's.
@mookie This is literally true and it’s not even close. The number of times I’ve ever felt any actual pressure about drugs, beyond a friendly “hey, you wanna?“, is like… three? Lifetime?
I’ve felt more pressure about AI *this week*.
@[email protected] Yeah but I don't want to use cocaine because I'd just be funneling money to a few central druglord kingpins. And I'd be encouraging a society where everyone would be dependent on it and couldn't function without it any more. Wait, are we still being literal or is this an analogy?
@mookie I mean I figured one part of that was how expensive drugs are and how teenagers generally do not have disposable income.
But then, virtually all of the AI stuff that keeps getting pushed at me is incredibly expensive, to where I don't really have the disposable income for that (and if I did, I'd have so many better things to spend it on anyway).
@mookie maybe I'm boring but other than alcohol I never got the chance to ‘just say no’ to anything.
LLMs meanwhile…
"just say no" seems ripe for reuse.
