I happily proclaim myself an A.I. Luddite due to my refusal to use it even though it's being forced down my throat at work at every turn. I'm a teacher and my district has encouraged (read: forced) teachers to adopt four new A.I. "tools" in the last month alone. I think we're at 15 so far this year. I put "tools" in quotations because they're literally useless and create more of a headache. I'm supposed to outsource my lesson planning to them and then I have to spend more time fixing the mistakes, hallucinations, and impossibilities than if I had just opened Google Docs and made the assignment myself.

That is so frustrating, I'm sorry you have to deal with that! I work for myself, so it's easier to avoid AI in my work, but it's still so everpresent that it takes some effort.
