    It’ll be all around you. It’ll be forced on you whether you liked it or not. Do you have a phone? An android? iOS? They’ve both been using AI religiously. Hell, even the Linux kernel now has AI code. I get that you don’t like it, but you won’t be able to not use something that was made with it.

        Most definitely isn’t.

        And that’s as far as that topic goes nowadays with Linux devs. They’re not stupid.

      I didn’t say i didn’t like it, i said it wasn’t mandatory to use it.

      Your comment (and the context of this post) implied active usage, which is what i was responding to.

      If you want to come at it from a “there is no ethical consumerism” point of view, you might be right that it is, or will be, everywhere.

      There is still a distinction between the choice to actively use it and the pseudo-passive background knowledge that it might have been used as part of something in your daily life…

      Like the knowledge that modern consumer electronics supply chains have a prominent core of slavery and exploitation doesn’t make buying a phone the same as owning a slave.

      “It’s already everywhere, so you might as well use it” isn’t a good catch-all policy and i don’t think it’s a good approach to this specific scenario.

      But you do you.
