Where do you hide? Sure, you can and should create Dunbar-sized networks where everyone knows your name, but IIRC, Amazon sells AI clones of real books, "Scientific" papers are completely or partly AI. You can't buy an iPhone without AI (hoping my iPhone SE can't support it), your computer will have it, want it or not. And every damn business and agency you deal with will, if for no other reason, it eliminates jobs, and is a shiny sales object that your competitors offer, even with its failings.

I suppose that you could make some money selling "AI-Free" products and services, like cage-free eggs, nitrite-free foods, and so on. Certified "Legacy" books, BAI, before AI.

There are probably health benefits to limiting how much AI-generated slop you consume.

As you note, the dream of replacing expensive and unruly humans with unpaid, compliant robots is extremely attractive to most large businesses.
