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?

AI was designed by tech companies who became advertising companies whose profits derive from monetizing the ability to exploit us poor, psychologically weak and vulnerable humans with our brains so full of biologically hard-coded remote root exploits in order to change our behavior and make us want to do what earns them money. And that's exactly what they are using it for.

It makes perfect sense that it works amazingly well when used to write proposals to convince people to do hire you so that you will earn money, it is literally designed for that.
