General Discussion

I'm a Luddite who rarely interacts with AI in my daily activities. My personal computer use hasn't changed much since the 'nineties.

My word processing "needs" can be fully satisfied with a 1MHz 8 bit computer. I don't need AI for that. There's no Excel or Powerpoint or Photoshop in my life.

My phone flips open like a Star Trek communicator. Mostly I use it as a phone. Sometimes I send and receive texts. It's not connected to my email accounts.

I quit Amazon, I quit google searches (the quality of which has deteriorated intolerably in the past few years), and I try to avoid businesses that don't have an adequate number of human customer service reps.

I don't need AI for any of that stuff and I won't be assimilated without resistance.
