Not to beat a dead horse but google has now foisted integration of itā€˜s Gemini AI into basic gmail / drive functionality. Don’t offload your critical faculties to a super computer. Write that email. Use your brain. Every time you feed this thing it will get ā€œbetterā€ and you are training it to replace you.

My free, personal Gmail is respecting my settings with all smart features disabled. Meanwhile the work email that I pay Google for decided Gemini still would be enabled even though I turned it off for all users on the domain, and turned off smart features for my specific account.

I’m being fully FORCED to use AI on Google Office and it’s SO annoying. I don’t appreciate that after any Google Meets (which SUCKS by the way) that Gemini wants to send me a recap of the meeting. I DON’T WANT GEMINI ANYWHERE NEAR ME! Also, this AI Fiverr GO I keep getting force-fed in my YouTube Ads, that uses individual creators AI to generate content that looks like the content they’d create is absolutely insane and horribly dystopian. What happened to art? What happened to appreciating the human spirit, and learning from our mistakes? Idk, but I’m tired. AI could have been a really genius way for expanding our understanding of important issues, but instead it’s used just for people to honestly be lazy, and also creepy. Weird Note: People falling in love with AI is honestly really tragic. But, as someone who has a grandmother who has repeatedly fallen for scammers due to loneliness, I would rather have her fall in love with AI versus someone who’s trying to get (and has successfully gotten) her bank account information to slowly take money from her and string her along via horribly photoshopped photos and copy & pasted poems found off of google with her name added to seem unique. Just strange to say I’d rather have my grandma fall in love with a robot vs a scammer šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚.

i genuinely don’t understand the need for an ā€œassistantā€œ in every app now, it reminds me of how social media apps would copy each other to death, fighting to become the most popular one. remember when ig copied snapchat stories, or threads as the new twitter, the new be-real-like feature on ig, etc…?? except it’s even worse with this. people keep tagging freaking grok everywhere for nonsense on twt, there’s meta AI in every meta app, and now idk if they made Siri function with AI tech (i looked it up and there wasn’t a definite answer, but if anyone knows please tell me!!!). my obvious biggest concern is the environment, while the rise of anti-intellectualism is also at bay. i’m also tired of my university profs pushing AI onto me in an effort of trying to seem more modern. genuinely, i don’t think there’s anything that pisses me off more than chatgpt.

I fully believe that the AI chatbots are very intentionally being pushed as an educational/social/creative ā€œtoolā€ to make people less able to have creative and critical thought. if we put all of that energy into something as convenient as chatgpt, whether it’s to help write an essay or use as a ā€œtherapist,ā€ we think we’re satiating that human urge to be creative. Creativity is at its most powerful when people can pull from the discomfort and inspiration of the human experience, which can lead to critiques towards the oligarchs running the country right now. convenience will always win people over when they’re exhausted from working in this late stage of capitalism. Also, it would be incredibly easy to inject the bots with propaganda and misinformation.

to me this is one of life’s most simple joys - especially during the winter. The combination of not driving + the heat from the pie keeping your legs warm + direct pizza fumes provides a precious and rare sensory experience
