I want to let people know why I’m strictly against using AI in everything I do without sounding like an ‘AI vegan’, especially in front of those who are genuinely ready to listen and follow the same.

Any sources I try to find to cite regarding my viewpoint are either mild enough to be considered AI generated themselves or filled with extremist views of the author. I want to explain the situation in an objective manner that is simple to understand and also alarming enough for them to take action.

    You’re right. I cannot avoid it completely. Sometimes I use it unknowingly through some other online service intermediate or work in projects among peers who do use AI. What I should’ve said is I avoid using it to the best of my ability.

    1. My complaint is with commercially available generative AI like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude etc. The fact that they are being proposed as solution to every conceivable problem without addressing its drawbacks to equal standards and everyone accepting it as such is what’s wrong to me.
    2. I wish to inform them of the implications of using these services what others failed to do. I do believe some people would consider reducing their uses if not stop altogether if they heard what it really is and what they contribute to by using it.

    It’s hard but right to admit that I’m coming off as an ‘AI vegan’ with what I’ve said earlier. I don’t want to be casted out for not wanting to use something just for the sake of it, like with other mainstream social media.

      For 2. would it then be a approach for you to focus on exactly your own complaint?

      “Be careful when you use gen AI, it’s sold to you as solution but you’ll have more work figuring out why it doesn’t understand you then it would be just doing it on your own”.

      Perhaps I’m not yet understanding what you mean with “contribute to” or the implications though.
