    I am fucking tired of AI. I am fucking tired of my in-laws trying to show me the things their son, "made," with AI. I am fucking tired of explaining why I won't take an AI centric job for any amount of money. I am fucking tired of people telling me how AI has helped them, "learn," new concepts. I am fucking tired of hearing people say, "I use it to make pictures with my grandchildren!"

    I am so fucking tired of the blatant theft of every bit of intellectual property on the planet, whether it was bolted down or not. I am fucking tired of the wholesale distillation of human thought and achievement into a sludge of on-demand dopamine boosting energy drink.

    I am so fucking tired of the datacenters. I am so fucking tired of hearing how it is going to solve global warming, while it continues to contribute to global fucking warming. I am fucking tired of the endless cycle of hype being the only profit center with regard to AI. I am fucking tired of watching farmland turn to concrete blocks that generate pollution and stupid.

    I am so fucking tired of people telling me it is a useful tool. I am so tired of being reminded to check AI's work, because it often makes mistakes. I am fucking tired of hearing that AI is going to democratize things such as art, music, and software development. I am fucking tired of watching people I thought were intelligent succumb to the idiocy of AI tools.

    I am so fucking tired of playing the, "Is it AI slop or not?" game every time I see, hear, or read something. I am fucking tired of random phone calls with AI agents on the other end. I am so fucking tired of being told it has beneficial uses. I am fucking tired of being told that these tools are here to stay. I am fucking tired of being told that I will be left behind.

    And if you use AI tools, I am so completely and utterly fucking tired of you.

    @nuintari As someone who uses AI tools as a productivity crutch (with the excuse of a debilitating degenerative joint disease caused in part by decades of typing); I feel conflicted every day. I do think we're going to look back at this era though as somewhere between the Dada movement in Art, and the MCSE movement of ~2000 where people listened to radio commercials thinking they could get a high-paying job as a sysadmin just by taking some overpriced course.

    It'll be interesting, nonetheless.

    @thomrstrom I have yet to see any accessibility tool that requires several towns worth of mega data centers.

    There is ML that can run locally, or at reasonable scale that is perfectly acceptable in my admittedly, very firm world view.

    None of these things are the massive surveillance state being built, disguised by generative AI.

    @thomrstrom @nuintari I have already seen a lot of accessibility washing to justify the existence of technology such as the meta creep glasses and generative ai because it can help some blind people have a description of the world around them. Nope. Not buying it.

    @nuintari I drove past the two Montgomery County hyperscale data center projects in central Missouri about a month ago. Both projects take up one square mile of prime farm land. I was completely stunned by the size and scale when I drove by them on the Interstate for the first time. When it takes nearly a minute to go past them at 70 MPH, something is definitely wrong. I think a lot of people just can't comprehend the scale of these massive projects.
