It’ll be all around you. It’ll be forced on you whether you liked it or not. Do you have a phone? An android? iOS? They’ve both been using AI religiously. Hell, even the Linux kernel now has AI code. I get that you don’t like it, but you won’t be able to not use something that was made with it.

    I didn’t say i didn’t like it, i said it wasn't mandatory to use it.

    Your comment (and the context of this post) implied active usage, which is what i was responding to.

    If you want to come at it from a "there is no ethical consumerism" point of view, you might be right that it is, or will be, everywhere.

    There is still a distinction between the choice to actively use it and the pseudo-passive background knowledge that it might have been used as part of something in your daily life..

    Like the knowledge that modern consumer electronics supply chains have a prominent core of slavery and exploitation doesn't make buying a phone the same as owning a slave.

    "It's already everywhere, so you might as well use it" isn't a good catch-all policy and i don't think it's a good approach to this specific scenario.

    But you do you.
