Because use of AI is bad for me. YMMV.

    I find that whenever I have used AI to find a solution, I have forfeited learning, so I avoid it completely so that I can learn about the thing that AI would have otherwise shortcut for me. Regarding this specific example, while it may or may not be the case that AI is the best tool for sentiment analysis, it's not the best or most efficient tool for keyword filtering, and keyword filtering is all I'd really need. In the event that I cared enough about the filtering to find or build a solution, it wouldn't be with AI for this reason, but also because of the aforementioned reasons. Even if they're not applicable to this very scenario, I'd rather not involve myself in the technology at all if I can help it.

    Well, as I said I'm not really going to try to solve it. I prefer to not see headlines that talk about AI, politics and some other things, and I'll filter them out and I'll use the tools that are already available to me to do so. Now if my RSS app came out with a feature that used AI sentiment analysis to filter out those topics, I'd probably switch it on, but I'm not going to involve myself in solving the problem in any regard, but in the hypothetical, "regex soup" would rank higher than AI.

    Yeah, well, you're talking to a human with contradictions and biases. I don't want to use it, but I suppose the scenario presented is the lesser of two evils for me personally.

    I don't know what a language classifier is. I'm chatting to you about it because you seem interested, but otherwise I prefer to live as though none of this exists. That might make me some kind of luddite.

    I've come to the same place with politics. It got to a point recently where, in my opinion, the worst possible act has been committed by the most powerful people with the most concrete evidence that we're ever going to see. In my mind it was the ultimate test to see if we mere mortals had any sort of control over justice and unchecked power. Once it became evident to me that we don't, I have completely checked out, and will now live my life in ignorance to politics, because if I don't have control, and it depresses me, the best thing for me to do is try to carve out a little slice of this world to live in ignorant contentment.
