> Unless you cut AI out of your life completely

Pretty close. I only touched ChatGPT a couple times a few years ago, haven't used the others (on purpose at least. Google forces its Gemini summaries on me but I mostly avoid them, because, umm, see above.)

> and do not interact with others.

Most people I interact with are on the same page about AI. But I try to keep my critical thinking online anyway, like I always have. If someone tried to feed me AI slop, I would consider that person to have betrayed my trust and would, to put it gently, try to interact with them less.

That makes you an extremely rare exception. I use AI as a private tutor on various subjects that interest me to save time and not to have to watch hours of low content videos. But I've separated it out to the degree that I'm running that stuff on a separate laptop to make sure my work product is never going to be contaminated. I quite literally treat it as though it is radio active and should never touch the rest of what I do.

Well, thanks, I guess.
