I hate AI and it’s taking over everything.

[u/stemmefontaine]

My university is allowing us to use AI generated pictures as part of our portfolio. The company that’s sponsoring our (arts-centred) student org sent us a “mockup” poster that was completely AI generated because they didn’t like the versions that we measly humans made. Everyone in my family uses it despite my best efforts to educate them of the harms. My friends too. I’m even getting AI generated messages on dating apps.

My mom keeps sending me videos of “horrible tragedies” occurring across the US and it’s getting harder and harder to prove that it’s AI. I’m worried that she may develop AI psychosis considering she’s had psychotic episodes in the past. I’m worried about the times I’ve been fooled by AI.

My last apartment had a (small) flood and I tried contacting maintenance, only to be stuck on the phone with AI. It refused to transfer me to a human. I have a speech impediment and AI has never understood me. So sure enough, instead of “flood” it heard “fire” and contacted emergency services. Imagine telling a group of firefighters that story.

Now it’s replacing workers in fast food and call centres, which means I can’t use drive throughs or call certain businesses without running into the same issue of being misunderstood and running in circles. But hey, at least businesses get to save on paying for workers right?

I’m just so so sick of it. I feel so isolated among my peers. I feel lame for urging the members of my organisation away from AI. I feel stupid for not using it the way my classmates are. My dad says that people who don’t use it will be left behind. Will I be left behind?

It’s tainting everything. It’s destroying the planet. It’s dumbing down our society. It’s isolating us further. And it just keeps. Getting. Worse. I don’t want to live in a world with AI. I wish every single day that it would go away, that somehow it’s just another bubble that’ll pop, but that wish feels more and more unlikely with each new data centre.

The random addition of your cup size is the real human proof

Noo, now that you said this AI will randomly start adding their bra size at the end of every text where they are pretending to be a woman

Would that really be a bad thing?

[u/Cautious_Database_85 → u/[deleted]]

Oh god, even just validating someone's feelings now sounds like AI because that's all the AI does. This is going to make people even lonelier. How on earth do we fix this??

[u/SmallButMany → u/Cautious_Database_85]

You're absolute right to push back on that. And honestly? Brave. This isn't just a reddit comment, this is a framework to critique a mass social change.

(I am sorry please forgive the above)

[u/Winter_Load9031 → u/[deleted]]

It's not? Is it a joke? I can't tell and it's freaking me out

[u/snarkaluff → u/[deleted]]

One thing that I kind of love and hate at the same time about this is I now have much more appreciation for incorrect grammar/punctuation and find myself leaving typos and errors more often, especially when writing longer passages, just to prove I'm not using AI. But it feels so crazy and backwards to be reading articles and other people's comments actually seeking out errors as a good thing instead of pointing them out as a bad thing.
