I don't want anything to do with AI. I disabled it everywhere. Yet, you keep shoving it down my throat. The more you do that, the less I want to interact with it. Toss more AI on me, and I'll look to disable it.
I know this isn't going to be popular here, but I do really worry that people who take this approach will end up hamstringing their opportunities in life.
I agree that AI is over hyped, easily misused and being forced into things it's not necessarily very helpful for....but that's also what it was like when the internet came around.
I think people would be wise to familiarise themselves with the tools available if only to hedge their bets....you can't find a software engineering job right now that doesn't want experience with AI tools, and if it's as successful as many think it will be - you will find most jobs will expect proficiency with AI in the same way they expect proficiency with computers.
It might go the other way and become irrelevant of course. But right now I dont think the majority of people are informed enough to know which way it will go and are thus just responding emotionally instead.
Save this and read it again in five years.
What do you think I'll think of it in 5yrs?
Nice try ChatGPT. But, you're not fooling anybody. The gullible idiots are that way. --->
Downvotes because disagree. I thought this place was meant to be better than reddit.
downvotes don't mean anything in lemmy except that your opinion is different from the majority
Fair, I did anticipate it not being a popular view here.
People are disagreeing with you, in turn, downvotes can't hurt you.
Yeah fair, I just wish people didn't try and suppress views they disagree with. It's how we end up with shadow voters.
lol
lmao even
