MODERATORS
If they’re so useful, why are they being forced on everyone, including by making them part of performance reviews?
If they’re useful people will naturally use them.
No, I do none of those things. You just sound like a resentful conformist. Maybe try thinking and doing for yourself, instead of thinking and doing as you’re told.
I very often do push back against things that they try to force down everyone's throat. AI is not exceptional in this regard.
So cool...

The projection is strong in this one
“AI Tools” describes both the product and the people who use them.
They're not useful tools.
Nobody's fighting against you guys. Why do sloperators have to take everything personally? Smh my head.
What "usefulness" do you get out of them?
Are you not familiar with "ctrl+f"?
Didn’t know ctrl-f could parse natural language and not only rely on knowing the correct keyword. When did it gain that functionality?
AI is not a useful tool, it's a lock-in subscription that chains you to those billionaires. Fighting against AI is fighting against control by billionaires.
You're screaming into the echo chamber, mate. Unless you're so rabidly anti-AI you believe and spread one of a few comforting, imaginary narratives, you'll be dog piled.
I'm staunchly critical of AI, but won't pretend that it only consists of generative AI, that it still operates as poorly as it did years ago, nor that a disturbing percentage of the population either doesn't care about or actually supports that shit, so I get my share of insults. Being pro-AI won't get you much civility so set your expectations low. Unless you're trolling. Then you've nailed it.
How about allowing AI to be rolled out and adopted organically instead of trying to gavage it down everyone's throats?
That would be true of any technology. Technology doesn't have agency; my comment is clearly directed at corpos that are pushing it.
