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 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.

yesterday my coworkers said they were gonna translate a bunch of materials using chatgpt into like 4 other languages and all i could say tactfully was uhhh maybe use google translate instead. openai has done such a disturbing job of convincing people that ai is capable of critical thought when it absolutely is not and is inherently incapable of generating information as reliably as a person can. you can tell chatGPT that the sky is red enough times and it'll start regurgitating that as fact. you can tell me the sky is red once and i will go outside and look at it and know you're an idiot

nothing will ever change my mind ever. chatgpt is gen z and gen alphaā€˜s equivalent of boomers refusal to recycle and ignorance of the environmental destruction that factories have caused. it’s making all of you dumb, stupid, and lazy sheep. if you can’t write an email or to-do list without a robot……….. all hope is lost for humanity. truly genuinely sincerely do not care even a little bit who gets offended by this… somany more thoughts i could go for hours. there is no circumstance where i think a.i. use is NECESSARY enough to actually use it ever

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
