You are more polite about this than I am. Using AI is complying in advance and showing willingness to outsource your ability to think and communicate to our tech bro overlords. Basically, it is for fascist, extractive capitalist losers.

(I am married to an English teacher so I have to hear EVERY SINGLE DAY about how much the kids use it and I am terrified that we are raising a generation of people with very little ability to think critically because the adults haven't bothered to figure out how to use the new shiny thing responsibly, and we've just made it the water that these kids swim in.)

My grandmother passed away this week, and I felt compelled to write her obituary. It was therapeutic and a labor of love to try to capture the life of someone who meant so much to so many. In reviewing it, one of my aunts said she was glad I’d written it because she was just going to use ChatGPT. Her response was inconceivable to me. Let a robot remember our matriarch? By simply putting in dates and names of relatives? No thank you.
