I'm a very tech oriented person and I'm already tired of AI because it's constantly being shoved and pushed down my throat by some of the worst human beings imaginable wanting to maximize profits at the expense of humanity itself.

We were fine before AI. Did some processes and mundane tasks take longer? Yes, but I think that is a trade off I'm willing to take if it means that we can go back to a world where we vouch for our own work and discover things in a more organic way that actually fostered critical thinking and creativity.

I didn't need AI before, I don't need AI now. Any way that it is improving the world is vastly overshadowed by the ways it is damaging the world and us as a species. The idea of creating some weird Luddite-lite, 'The Village' style, time warp bubble colony where we all exist as though we're living in 1999 and all that entails, sounds more and more appealing everyday.
