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?

It's insufferable how my company is shoving AI everywhere! We are expected to all embrace AI and let it help us to do our jobs better and more efficiently. But it objectively sucks ! Isn't only somewhat good at things that are either useless or already have trivial solutions, and a complete waste of time for anything I could reasonably use some help with automation.

Now, the training materials are presented by AI hosts, the posters are AI slop, every corporate communications is about how great is AI. Even a colleague retired last week after working some 40 years or so for the company and he got an AI song ๐Ÿ˜ต

I am open to my boss, I tell him it's a waste of my time and that it looks like a good deal today when the service is given at a loss by companies that are still in phase 1 of enshitification, that once it moves to the next stage, we will be on the losing end of the deal. I work for an industrial company, this isn't going to play out nice for us for sure.
