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?

Draw comparisons with trade secrets. "If it was profitable, AI companies would be hoarding it jealously, not trying to sell it" is a good argument I've used before.

Also, that it's not intelligent at all. It just repeats what it has garbled together from a shit load of humans...which are prone to error.

OP, go with the error and money loser, don't bring up the planet. People don't think "planet killer", and will just glaze their eyes over.
