Nobody is forcing AI on you. Data centers, sure, but nobody has mentioned data centers.

Progressive democrats shouldn't waste their time talking about software.

Nobody is forcing AI on us? How can you be on HN and even make that claim? It’s literally everywhere.

In the last week or so my company has enabled some kind of Microsoft spam bot in Teams that posts several useless messages nobody wants in meeting chat-channels, burying messages from humans and generally making everything worse. It's astonishingly useless.

That's at work, though. Presumably most people aren't willingly using teams—you might as well say "teams" is being forced on you as "ai" is.

[blibble]

seems to be forced on me

every piece of software seems to have gained useless AI features

my employer is rabbiting on about it constantly

if I go out socially people bring out their phones and ask ChatGPT everything

it's just horrible and I hate it
