I posted the same text below to r/antiai and the only thoughtful feedback I received was from pro-AI or tentatively pro-AI perspectives. So I’m posting here hoping to get wider feedback and to have my mind changed a little bit. As someone who is anti-AI but admittedly not super well read on the subject, I think it’s time I looked at this with a fresh set of eyes. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you all have. I have been assigned as the lead person to create how-to videos at work so our organization of 1000+ employees can better utilize AI (m365 Microsoft CoPilot). Ironic that I was chosen. I’m getting into this project and feeling legitimately a little nauseous about it - I don’t want people using AI more. And on a tangible level, what if my how-to videos lead to increased use of AI and leaders start hiring less or laying off? I am sickened by what AI is doing and how CEOs are viewing it as a way to “thin” the workforce for efficiency yet refusing to compensate fairly. Realistically, CoPilot is only good at like ONE thing which is summarizing a document you already typed up, so I don’t anticipate a huge improvement in work efficiency. But I’m aware that the quantifiable improvement in productivity doesn’t actually matter because the C-suite is likely just looking for on-paper excuses to cut staff, and that’s where my concern is sitting. I feel like I’m being asked to buff and shine a massive pungent turd and set it out in the window display, and that turd could actually make people lose their jobs. Or more broadly, I’m fearful that I’ll be supporting a technology that is harming society. How do I navigate this? Is this an opportunity I have to do something right? Am I taking this too seriously or not seriously enough? submitted by /u/KazeSim22
