I'm trying my hardest not to use any AI, because I don't believe there's an ethical way to use it considering the amount of damage and harm it creates.

One thing I'm noticing lately is AI popping up in things that I use without the option to opt out*.

Can people please leave comments about where they've noticed AI happening, so that I can also be aware of those things.. like it took me a minute to realise that Co-pilot was actually AI and not just a fancy form of spellcheck, I've just heard about Duolingo and Audible, and the Ask Tiktok search thing is also AI.

What else do I need to be aware of?

Thanks!

*personally, I believe giving an opting out option is a bullshit move and we should have to opt IN to something because you know.. consent fucking matters

micro$oft uses your keyboard and mouse and any other available biometric data since 8 (you licence it to them irrevocably forever as well as the right to sell it along with any kind of usable intelectual property you create on an infected device). They bought github, so it is used to train copilot (which is github ai slop). You agreed to all of that by clicking that button without reading the full agreement (which took me 2 and an half hours during pandemic and i disagreed).

Recommendation systems used by Spotify, Netflix etc. often use machine learning, which is lumped under the umbrella of "AI".

scientificamerican.com/article…

They're not like the LLMs (Large Language Models) like Co-Pilot, ChatGPT, Gemini etc) that have become the default definition of AI at the moment.

There is also types of AI in how most smart phones take and process photos that can sometimes result in some weird results.

So avoiding all varieties of AI is almost impossible. Avoiding LLMs is easier in web search. I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine and there's an opt out of its use of LLM. However I think all browsers are gonna imbed LLMs soon (Brave does but again there's an opt out). Firefox will prob soon.

So AI/machine learning may not necessarily be a bad thing depending on its intended application, source data, who creates it and who is the intended user/target, and any power imbalance between those two.
