I'm required to use it a little bit for my job. (I'm a software developer). I do the absolute minimum I can with it, then don't touch it the rest of the day.

Reasons:

• It's an ongoing environmental disaster.
• It's a giant plagiarism machine.
• If you're trusting its output, you're being foolish.
• The business model for them being profitable doesn't exist. I don't want to depend on a technology I consider a dead end.
• They make you stupid. If you get hooked on using them, then when the bubble finally pops and most of these bullshit purveyors fold, you'll have already forgotten how to think and research for yourself. The imaginary "convenience" of being confidently and convincingly lied to by a large language model isn't worth it.

Ask one how to cook a turkey, it will give you convincing and unsafe instructions. Ask it if any mammals fly airplanes, it will gaslight you into thinking none do (humans are mammals). Ask it to do any task involving parsing the letters in words, and instead of honestly telling you it can't, it will give you utterly incorrect responses.

These tools aren't fit for purpose. They're shiny and fast and wrong in both obvious and subtle ways.

Good. Our fuckwit MAGA population needs to feel the hurt personally in order to have any chance of waking up from the cult.

As an American, I 100% support boycotting U.S. goods and services.
