Does this guy actually think the average AI-hater is also addicted to it?
That person probably exists, but they're nowhere close to the majority.

If you don’t use AI of course you won’t miss it.
I use AI and still want it to fuck off.
Spoiler
It’s integrated into some systems I use at work and while it can be handy I wouldn’t give a shit if it was gone tomorrow since it’s better for humanity as a whole if it’s gone.
I like LLMs even with their (big and inherent) flaws.
However, I also don't like it to be sprinkled everywhere. I want affordable smaller LLMs that run locally on my own hardware. RAM prices right now make that financially impossible for me.
That way I'm the one who has to deal with the flaws (even more with smaller LLMs) and the energy prices but on the other hand it's private and I have sovereignty. Nobody can turn off features or change the model or increase subscription prices or change the API or steal my data.
Stupidest question I've seen in a while.
Yeah, I'm fine with giving up something I never used.
And, from what I've read many of the people who use it for work only do so to appease their idiot bosses.
it’d be annoying for like 2 sec giving up better auto complete when i’m writing code (keywords: when IM writing code), or “intuitively find and replace non-identical things based on what i just did”
and then id get over it because i could buy RAM again
