I was just thinking about this yesterday. AI has not helped me in any way shape or form. I don’t need it, i don’t want it, and it should NOT be forced onto people.
I grew up teaching myself how to research and use Ask Jeeves, Yahoo!, AOL, and now Google, Duck Duck Go. I don’t need a dumb AI to tell me what i can find myself.
Even if I do occasional turn to AI for some things, I absolutely do not want it to be integrated into my personal computer. The privacy implications are insane.
I’m glad I made the switch to Linux months ago with my Windows install being relegated to a lil sandboxed VM I occasionally use for the odd Excel task here and there.
AI helps me a lot, but only because search engines became unusable.
I treat AI how I used to treat google search
I have two areas where i foud it a somewhat nice to have tool:
Using stable diffusion to make avatars for roleplaying characters, as i simply can not draw shit.
Having my Rimworld characters talk to each other.
I use local models for both of those.
I don’t want it in OS, in my search results and most defnetly not in my work or studies.
But it gets it wrong TOO! You could be leaning absolute gibberish.

I’m more concerned about ‘AI’ telling people incorrect information - and that information being further indexed and presented as fact elsewhere.
It’s a compounding problem
