Whenever someone claims we "need" AI, always remember 2023. Did we do any worse then than today? Honestly?
The supposed "necessity" of "AI" for "productivity" or anything else is so plainly a myth.
We're now three or four years into this supposed "great future" where "AI will solve our problems" and no-one can demonstrate an overall increase in anything that translates into better living conditions.
Meanwhile, the machine cult is making very real resource problems a lot worse.
There's no intrinsic necessity for their "AI" in this world. Remember that we did fine without it, or if not exactly fine, then at least no worse than today.
oh i'm waaay better off!
i can outsource all the time consuming and annoying stuff and finally focus on the fun part of the job
it has taken a freaking load off my shoulders that blocked me for several years straight
the past 2 months, i was finally able to finish or reorganize several projects that kept dragging on for 1 or 2 years now
this is the first time in a decade i feel i can breathe again
Thanks. For me, there's no fun part of the job anymore. Because the fuckers went straight for that.
I'm a bit nonplussed that this would work at all, after all it depends on a collective act of credulity and *amnesia*.
If "AI" is now vital for the simplest tasks, how did we manage 3 years ago?
Anyone pushing its use in the workplace, in institutions, anywhere owes me an answer to this.
There is none. Only gaslighting.
I'm not asking for all-out resistance from everyone (well, that would be great too).
Just less enthusiasm about the worst men replacing our world with their plastic.
Because "AI" is nothing without those producing it. It's not "autonomous". We can simply decide to stop going along with their vision. And we should, IMO.
This bothers me a lot. The inroads of this cult into the institutions worry me.

Superficial busywork can now be slopped. So what. This just means we get to do more of it.
Other work can now also be slopped. Does the resulting slopworld feel productive? Does it feel like progress?
Whole fields are threatened, with education being undermined by those who want to replace all knowledge work, expertise, creativity and really everything that matters with plastic replicas.
What a great future!
