aside from the usual trying to make time to read the great deal of books on my tbr, i've just gotten increasingly annoyed by people trying to justify their ai usage to me. i'm as clear about my stance on ai online as i am in real life, so i have a lot of peers who use chatgpt who feel i guess personally attacked (which some part of me does think is good. since i mean, i think shame is really needed if you're so reliant on it). but it just gets to this odd point where they're aware of my chatgpt distaste and then sort of make excuses for it. stuff like "oh well i just used it to check my work", as if the ethical concern of cheating is a big deal here (it is slightly but that's just my being a goody two shoes). saying that you only use it for x reason is stupid to me since again!!! my big qualm is the environmental impact. if chatgpt were some regular site to use for cheating i'd be miffed as always but i would not make such a big deal out of it. honestly for all the stuff i say regarding my loss in respect towards people who use generative ai to do their thinking and work for them, it's just really hard to cut people off since connection is pretty much an evolutionary requirement. it just bugs the hell out of me. i'm not your priest!! there's no use in explaining why you'd use it to me when my distaste for it is founded for reasons that are universal to every chatgpt user. i don't care if you just used it to check your work since that's... not what i care about, actually. it sucks that i come on here to moan and cry about chatgpt every other day, but like, whatever. </3
