I have a boss who tells us weekly that everything we do should start with AI. Researching? Ask ChatGPT first. Writing an email or a document? Get ChatGPT to do it.

They send me documents they “put together” that are clearly ChatGPT generated, with no shame. They tell us that if we aren’t doing these things, our careers will be dead. And their boss is bought in to AI just as much, and so on.

I feel like I am living in a nightmare.

    Asking you as it seems like you’re somebody working in the AI field: how can I avoid whatever you and others in your field are doing? Do I just have to go offline?

    I’m not against that idea, but unfortunately I do have debts to pay off at least for the next 45 months or so and my career requires me to use the internet (I’m a web developer). Once the debt is paid, I’m free.

      To avoid our company, don’t buy our product?

      To avoid all AI, well first you’re going to have to degoogle. And then probably any tech company larger than 1000 people is going to have some place where they use AI, so you’ll want to get on openstreetmap, Lemmy, mastodon, i.e. all the free software versions of things that you can. There’s a lot of overlap with privacy-focused people there. Also basically no shopping online - Stripe and probably most other payment providers use ML for detecting fraud.

      And then if you’re doing web development you probably have to consider things like scrapers. Something like Anubis https://anubis.techaro.lol/ can help with that.

      There’s probably more I don’t know/haven’t thought of.
