It is time to resist: refuse to use AI. Refuse to recommend it. It is not good for you.

Well done! We do what we can.

I refuse to. My current manager knows I refuse to. I'm just hoping to get a little closer to retirement before the higher-ups try forcing me to, 'cos at that point, I'm out.

I guess I'm a little too cynical sometimes.

I think that wise, respected, high profile tech folx can speak freely against these evils right now. I think that organized tech workers could begin to resist, and to refuse, as a group. Individual teams could slow down, "work to rule", right now.

It would take courage and time, for sure.

Resistance starts with each of us.

Again, the technical folks will be "pooh-poohed" for not being sufficiently willing to try new things (which is ironic since a lot of us suffer from major "shiny new object" syndrome).
