That is a reasonable list I 100% agree with you. Many of them are part of my experience. Especially as using AI as an authority. You can’t even convince them otherwise.
However, I’ve got a question for you: have you noticed any good or correct usage of AI.
I respect you honest answer and fully understand your concerns. You have your own genuine reasons not to use AI. How ever as things evolve and, since I could use company provided AI for almost two years now, I can tell you LLMs now are not simply a tool to predict the next word. They got so much more advanced than that. I am not advocating for AI companies. I would want to run one locally. Just trying to keep you updated on the subject because you seem to have a niche interest in it. But I guess it won’t be enough reason to start using it.
This is exactly the same phenomenon happening here in the comments. Fortunately there are some thoughtful comments here that explain they are mainly concerned about ethical and environmental effect of AI regardless of its usefulness. Some other unfortunately dislike AI and people using AI for unknown reasons. Maybe a Luddites effect happening?
Then you are lucky. USA or outside USA? Asia maybe?
No, we won’t have more free time, we will be just “more productive”. If the company you work at finds a way to make you more efficient or more productive, they wont give you more free time. Instead, they will make you work same hours and expect more from you.
The loudest minority. That is a phenomenon that amazes me. For example here, you can just say you find AI useful or that you like and your post will be in negative down votes. So it gives a feeling that it is what the majority are thinking. Hopefully there is IRL. :D
That is a good strategy to govern AI companies and regulate AI.
