Don't Push AI Down Our Throats

AI is being done wrong.

It's being pushed down our throats. It’s in our search bars, our operating systems, and even our creative tools, whether we asked for it or not. It feels less like an upgrade and more like a force-feeding.

It doesn’t need to be this way. Technology can be adopted slowly. Organically. One piece at a time.

Right now, the frantic pace of deployment isn't about utility; it's about liquidity. It’s being shoved down our throats because some billionaires need to make some more billions before they die.

We don't owe them anything.

It is time to do AI the right way. The honeymoon phase of the hype cycle is over. We now know the limitations. We see the hallucinations. We see the errors. Let's pick the things which work and slowly integrate it into our lives. We don't need to do it this quarter just because some startup has to do an earnings call. We will do it if it helps us.

And let’s be clear: We don't need AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). We don't need a digital god. We just need software that works.

If the current models don't work? No problem. Let the researchers go back to the lab and do their jobs. We will continue doing ours. We might even generate more data for them in the process—but this time, we do it correctly. We will work with the creators, writers, and artists, instead of ripping off their life's work to feed the model.

I hear the complaints from the tech giants already: "But we bought too many GPUs! We spent billions on infrastructure! They have to be put to work!"

Not my problem.

I will use what creates value for me. I will not buy anything that is of no use to me.

I hear that’s called capitalism.

There are plenty of legitimate use cases for AI and enough places to make money without force-feeding the market. But I will not allow AI to be pushed down my throat just to justify your bad investment.
