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?

As someone who was recently fired for, among other things, being a stick in the mud about AI, I have some thoughts.

Try not to take work too seriously.

I drew a picture of Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force saying, "It don't matter. None of this matters." and put that by my monitor in my office. Whenever I started to feel activated about some bullshit, I just glanced over at Carl. It calmed me down to be reminded that my real job is to simply not lose the job.

It's a very bad time to be unemployed and anti-AI right now. Just tread lightly, ride out the storm, and let the inevitable reckoning eventually come to pass.
