What "usefulness" do you get out of them?

If they’re so useful, why are they being forced on everyone, including by making them part of performance reviews?

If they’re useful people will naturally use them.

How about allowing AI to be rolled out and adopted organically instead of trying to gavage it down everyone's throats?

not against useful tools

Nobody's fighting against you guys. Why do sloperators have to take everything personally? Smh my head.

They're not useful tools.

I'd that tool didn't come at the destructive costs involved, AI would be a lot more palatable.

You're screaming into the echo chamber, mate. Unless you're so rabidly anti-AI you believe and spread one of a few comforting, imaginary narratives, you'll be dog piled.

I'm staunchly critical of AI, but won't pretend that it only consists of generative AI, that it still operates as poorly as it did years ago, nor that a disturbing percentage of the population either doesn't care about or actually supports that shit, so I get my share of insults. Being pro-AI won't get you much civility so set your expectations low. Unless you're trolling. Then you've nailed it.

It is allowing me to do things that I could not do on my own due to time constraints. It also allows me to do stuff that I could not afford to do (generate my company logo and variations of the mascot for social media posts.)

I know a lot of people think I am rich, but I live in a third world country and hardly have any extra to save, so I truly can't afford to pay a graphic designer to do that work. I actually did once, on upwork, but the vector work she did was terrible and she couldn't figure out how to remove these thick black lines. ChatGPT was able to fix it though.
