A lot of people at my work, especially managerment, are very pro AI. I've haven't openly shared my opinion of AI/the fact that I don't use it, because the hype around AI seems almost cult like at my work. It was months before anyone brought up hallunications.

Part of me wants to share my reasons against AI at work. Some possible reasons I'm thinking of sharing are cooking the planet, you don't know when it is hallucinating so how do you trust it, critical thinking rot.

Any advice on discussing the negatives of AI at work? Or should I just keep my head down and let sloppers slop?

I tell people to get fucked, but I'm self-employed. People are so easily manipulated, and when billions of dollars are being pumped into it from the largest companies on Earth, it's not too hard to brainwash people into thinking it's useful.

I remember in the early days of CGPT some guy on a podcast talking about how CGPT had already read this brand new book and CGPT had already summarized it for him. Putting aside how utterly useless that is, CGPT isn't trained on anything after 2021, and this dude not only didn't know what he was talking about, but was straight up lying.
