AI being heavily leveraged by companies during a hype cycle doesn’t make it good, nor does it mean I’m obligated to consume the content.

I have disabled YouTube recommendations so I stop getting AI videos. When choosing books, I have plenty of AI-free options written before 2022. Newer books will need to clear a high bar.

The opportunistic people who try to leverage every new technology to get rich quick have made the world a much worse place, and right now their tools of choice is AI. If there are valid uses for it, the people doing it should be loudly speaking out against the slop producers, not telling people resisting it that AI is inevitable and they need to get on board. That’s the playbook of one of those opportunistic people who make the world worse. I’d urge you not to align your life with those who erode society.
