never even opened that cursed thing

Domain expansion. No AI.

elite ball reference

It’s a fancy text generator. An impressive toy, perhaps, but it takes a deeply sad and pathetic person to orient their life around it.

The more people rely on these things the less they are capable of doing. it makes sense Journalists would be some of the first in line for the rot.

I'd struggle to go 48 hours without using the Internet at all. I've gone my entire life without using AI on purpose.

I saw a text edit of the original page and went 'oh shit' cause like back when I drew this I could not find that

I think you guys are missing that making as little contact with the systems as possible is not just not going to the damned programs, is avoiding all the places in which it's been forced. Even googling something hits you with AI now.

It’s been observed cis men generally use it more because it’s mimicking the unpaid labor women traditionally would be expected to do for them. Normal stuff all adults should do but there’s still “that guy” who wants a wife / mom / personal asst to tell them what they want to hear. It’s like a drug.

Well the old way was have an employee do it uncredited but they fired them for AI

It's so not-hard that even when my employer forced us to 'upgrade' our laptops to Windows 11 devices, complete with integrated Copilot buttons and shit, I continued to not use Copilot or any other AI shite. It is really, *really* not hard.

thanks to our new pope it is now permissible to avoid it on religious grounds, thank you Papa Leo

Thank you!

I tried it out a few times when it first came out and decided that it was a neat party trick but not particularly useful for my day-to-day and have not used it since

how did humanity survive hundreds of years without ai??? oh wait...

yeah imagine actually reading a news article all the way through without having it pre-digested, or creating a piece of art, or writing and recording a song, or just having an opinion and expressing it yourself. It's as if some people don't want to acknowledge what life was like even 5 years ago

god damn it, I used it like 1 time, so close

This is the most appropriate use of the term "skill issue" that I've ever seen in my life

When it first came out I took a little look at it, clocked that to use it properly I'd have to pay for it, and then never touched it again

The only time I use it is at work, because my work literally forces me to, and even then I use it as little as possible. Nearly threw up when they excitedly announced "we all have Copilot now!" Like that was something to be thankful for.

"they've got to be the most disciplined oriental monk the world's ever seen" and it's just a random dude with a beanie and an actual education

"How to live without a piece of crap that didn't even exist 4 years ago?" Well... I've lived my whole life like this.

I only ever used it by accident because of the way it pops up in your face everywhere, overlapping the text box you were about to type in! Trying to turn it off and avoiding it is a full time job! So annoying!

I mean, it keeps getting added into things that in no way need or want it. Like phones wanting to AI upscale photos, or google search shoving AI at the top.
