To be clear, I don’t just hate GenAI. I also hate golf, war, monoculture farming, clear-cutting forests, and building on floodplains. I love biodiversity, wildlife conservation, regenerative forestry, soil restoration, sustainable farming, and economic degrowth.
I miss the world before AI more than I miss the world before the pandemic. I hate what it’s doing to publishing, job markets, schooling, and the internet. It’s made people question every piece of content they see. I’m tired of reading about it, seeing it, or thinking about it.
I love foods that are just a vehicle for salt. Yeah let me get the edamame I want to scrape hard beans out of a hairy pod with my teeth I’ll eat the hair I don’t give a fuck
writing an e-mail and getting a prompt from AI "this sentence could be more concise"
no. i am verbose. i am loquacious. i am long-winded and often redundant even. you machine, do not tell me how to form my words
There are many reasons to resist AI (e.g. environmental harm, the power it gives to states/corporations, intellectual theft), but perhaps the biggest one for me is that, despite it all, I still believe that the human intellect is miraculous, irreplicable, & worth fighting for.
i get AI being difficult to avoid when it's been baked into existing services (e.g. google), but chat gpt is the most avoidable thing in the world to me. there's no useful function it could serve in my life, or in the life of anyone with a brain. it's not inevitable or necessary
