| I keep opening up apps, alot of them I’ve used for past a decade now and seeing almost all of them have something AI related features on their app really bothers me, even seeing over 15 AI ads on YouTube is so bothering some. I really don’t get why companies are now going to be enduring the AI hellhole, and there is already too much… |
| It’s gross and we need to push back against it. |
| Yes. My immediate reaction to it is to distrust it. |
| I'm trying to get used to it because the push is to have it everywhere. It is immediately useful in some areas, but I have to think more about how I need to change my routines to take better advantage of it. |
Why is it “gross”? |
| OP forgot to call AI as “clankers”. |
| yes it d annoying and scary. Give AI 2027 a read. we absolutely will be living under an oligarchy and and stage capitalism in a few years. My feeling is we are watching the sunset of the good days. |
What does that even mean? |
| The Copilot is making all my microsoft apps move like pond water. |
| And no thank you. I would rather write my report/email/everything by myself rather than your regurgitated LLM platitudes. |
| In response to my complaints to my DS19 that he only sends 1 word answers to my texts, he has started using AI to give me long, flowery responses. It's pretty funny. |

| No, I think it’s pretty cool. It can take on the menial stuff so I have more time to think about important things. |
Possibly, but this is due to our current president and not due to AI. Things will get better once we get rid of the orange man. |
| It’s a gimmick and another excuse for poor/expensive service. Just enshittification at work. Anyone who has used AI extensively at work knows it has major limitations and won’t be replacing anyone anytime soon. |
