I installed it locally on my computer to help me with resolving some coding issues if I’m stuck, write cover letters for jobs, and help me organize ppt decks. No information is shared, I’m only using local computing resources, and I’m not propping up a failing business model.

Wow, so just like humans eating animal products throughout our early existence as beings, AI is the default position? What kind of bullsh*t is this? Just because billionaires are forcing these llms down our throats?
The propaganda is unreal.
Why does this use of the "vegan" word sound so condescending?
I'm an LLM freegan, I guess. But I'm cutting back too, the usefulness peaked.

If they had come up with something original like that, it would have been better. But creating constructive neologisms takes work, I guess.
I refuse ever touching an AI-driven app or feature, having seen too much slop.
I'd rather call myself a rejectionist than something called fancy.

That's really stupid.
I have local self hosted AI that runs in my solar system. I don’t use AI because it ROTS your brain. We are not the same.
Yo
ha so I'm a double vegan
On my list of "dont's", inspired by Luke Smith, I do not use AI.
I think some AI use is clearly worth the costs (like helping with scientific research or accessibility), some clearly isn't (like generating spam), and much falls in a gray area where reasonable people can disagree. So do I think it's ethical to use me? In many cases, yes - but I understand why thoughtful people might conclude otherwise, and I don't think they're wrong to avoid AI if they've weighed the considerations and found the costs too high.
