Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because β€œthat’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

Using AI is amoral and I will never use it. As a programmer, every day it feels like I'm increasingly the minority.

    You cannot use an unethical mimicry tool in an ethical way. You are asking a theft engine to create for you based on others work.

    I remember when I was a child and I first got experience with computers. I saw how file systems worked and thought to myself "wow I should structure my own mind this way so I can try to think as well as a computer can!". I may have autism.

    AI is the exact opposite. Taking something beautiful, clear, clean, organized, efficient, definitive. And inserting all the messy, sloppy, uncertain, unreproducible aspect of our bloody electric meat brains. It's a move in the opposite direction of where I think humanity should be going.

    Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Utilize the tools or you'll end up unemployed.

    In all honesty, I don't think I could live with myself and, at least currently, think I'd rather find a new career path.

    If you ever figure out what the path is let me know cuz any employable skills I have are going to be jobs affected by AI

    It ain't trades because literally everyone is going to do that when AI kills all the other jobs
