I get why people do this, I feel the pressure mounting at my job too. At some point we gotta draw a line. We're gonna collectively manifest AI into being a fact of life, just like they want us to. Purposely using AI for dumb junk isn't rebellious, its exactly what the AI creators want you to do. They want us all to have one big mass hallucination that this shit is as necessary as they say it is.
Again, purposely using your job's AI for wasteful purposes is NOT rebellious, but in fact purposely plays into a worse future as planned. If you can afford to quit on principle, and your job is forcing AI usage metrics, thats probably a good time to quit on principle.
Problem is right now the market sucks so you put your head down and keep your job.
Yeah. Market downturn is always when they take the opportunity to make things worse. Resisting the fucking is a big part of what creates a better job market. But I totally understand not everyone is in a position to risk it
