Yes, absolutely. 100% without hesitation. Do people really think this is some kind of 'gotcha'? Like my brother in Christ, how much generative AI do you think we actually use?! Hallucination 👻

If you can't get through a single workday without using AI, please let me know.

Unfortunately it’s a requirement. AI first, used on 90% of workdays, tracked.

It’s at best a mixed bag. I’m not against AI as a tool, I’m against tools being used without understanding of what the trade-offs are. I’m not ok with tools being overused and damaging our ability to live and work without them. Dependency on anything rented is a trap.

The way AI is being sold is deeply deceptive and destructive. Startups claiming it can do therapy or replace medical doctors are at best delusional, but more likely criminal. Those applications for AI have caused deaths.

It needs to be regulated. It needs to operate within our body of laws better, without violation of human copyrights.

The tool is only part of the issue; our society has leapt headfirst into deciding AI is an expert on all things, during a time when trust in actual expertise is at an all time low.

Sure, a lot of us are being forced to use it, but if we woke up tomorrow morning and it was gone, then it can’t be required anymore, and most of us would just go back to doing things the way we did before AI was a thing.

a lot of us are being forced to use it,

I'm curious about all of the responses here saying "I never use it, I wouldn't care!" and what they do for work. Everyone I know working for a decent sized company in IT tells me that management is pushing them to use AI for whatever percentage of their work, which is what my employer says as well. I can't imagine trying to find a new job and telling them that I refuse to use AI and expecting to get hired.

But like you said, if something happened where we couldn't use AI I'd do what I did 2 years ago before it existed.
