I guess it’s about AI being shaved down throat for financial reasons. I use AI as I perceive it as a tool among other tools, but I also I switched to Linux because I don’t want AI to be shoved down my throat.
Comment on Americans Have Turned Against AI in Incredible Numbers

“people have turned against AI” is an … interesting framing, when the same article says that they’re using AI more than ever. I can’t quite believe that the bosses of ~60% of workers are forcing them to use it.

It’s all seo and marketing.
If you want something connected to honesty you aren’t going to find it within this system.

Ummm…except, they are. On top of the fact that AI is being implemented internally, all across most businesses…everything you do as a consumer, is also being integrated with AI. We are all literally “being forced to use it”. In most cases, you can’t even opt-out.

Some companies literally have AI minimum use quotas and will fire you if you don’t use genAI enough

My company just implemented AI directly into our payroll system. Now, instead of looking up our information using the old UI interface, we have an app that’s basically just an AI chat bot that we have to ask for information. No more pages to look up…just, “how many vacation hours do I have left?”, or “show me my pay stubs for (enter date range here).”
Technically, this makes everyone at our company a part of the statistical group that’s “using AI more than ever before”, and none of us had a choice in the matter.

Try to jailbreak it into giving you more time off.

That’s a reasonable use of a chatbot, to my mind. Payroll systems have historically been Byzantine, so being able to ask a question and get an accurate response due to database tie-in can shed friction. That said, available vacation hours, at least historically, was often inaccurate because of data-processing time. HR or IT still needs to input correct information to spit out a correct result.
