#reactionarythought — Public Fediverse posts

Critical thinking has left the building. Is everyone in the U.S. going mad? It seems to me, judging by this whole hysteria anti-AI and pro-AI. I'm just tired of it. Just use the tools that you think work best for you but just don't be judgemental. Human output is also full of slop. Just because it was created by a human being, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be reviewed in the sense of improving it. The exact same thing is valid for any AI output!! Just don't use lame excuses to justify a reactionary and conservative position towards technology. Being anti-AI is not progressive nor emancipatory if you just avoid all the time getting your feet wet by using the tools and experimenting a lot. It just shows you lack the exact same critical thinking you accuse pro-AI people of lacking.

"Having heard an increasing number of anecdotal stories over the last year or so of people finding weird, wild and defiant ways to avoid using AI in their professional lives, tales I've seen told in fragments across social media and platforms like Linkedin, I decided to speak directly with as many workers as I could to hear their stories in full.

What I found particularly interesting was that while some employees are able to duck out from using the technology altogether, a surprising number of people without that luxury are still finding ways to minimise, misdirect or even sabotage their company's AI mandates by using the technology against itself.

Given everyone I spoke to was still employed at the place they're talking about, they've requested their names and employers be withheld. And while (since this is a video games website) there are some video game industry workers featured below, I also ended up speaking with many affected employees across a range of other industries, from utilities to finance to cloud hosting."
