It’s being pushed down our throats. It’s in our search bars, our operating systems, and even our creative tools, whether we asked for it or not. It feels less like an upgrade and more like force-feeding.
It doesn’t need to be this way. Technology can be adopted gradually. Biologically. One piece at a time.
Right now, the frantic pace of deployment isn’t about usability; It’s about liquidity. It’s being forced down our throats because some billionaires need to make a few more billions before they die.
We don’t owe them anything.
Now is the time to do AI right. The honeymoon phase of the promotion cycle is over. Now we know the limitations. We see hallucinations. We see errors. Let’s pick things that work and gradually incorporate them into our lives. We don’t have to do it this quarter just because some startup has to have an earnings call. If it will help us then we will do it.
And let’s be clear: we do not need AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). We don’t need a digital god. We just need software that works.
If existing models don’t work? No problem. Let the researchers go back to the lab and do their work. We will keep doing our work. We may also generate more data for them in the process—but this time, we do it right. We will work with creators, writers and artists, not ruin their life’s work to feed models.
I’ve already heard complaints from tech giants: “But we bought lots of GPUs! We spent billions on infrastructure! They have to be put to work!”
not my problem.
I will use only what will create value for me. I will not buy anything that is not useful to me.
I’ve heard it’s called capitalism.
There are plenty of legitimate use cases for AI and enough room to make money without putting pressure on the market. But I will not allow AI to be shoved down my throat to justify your bad investment.
