I have figured out where my intense dislike of using AI comes from. My need for control/understanding stuff I create. I find the idea of giving up knowledge and skills in favor of statistics based chatbot to be repulsive and extremely dangerous. I am no systems developer, I am an IT guy, I write some Powershell from time to time to automate stuff, I understand the code, if I didn’t, I would not run it on prod. A huge amount of why normal office workers like using AI, in my opinion, is that they never learned how make even simple scripts which would have helped them in a lot of their tasks. And now they use AI to make a computer kinda guess what they wanted, but with no way to verify the code before running it. I honestly can’t understand why companies/governments/institutions believe that a chatbot is better than a skilled and knowledgable developer.

DARE promised me free drugs. What a letdown.

I feel about the same amount of pressure honestly, which is to say none. Both times I’m making choices based on my own observations, the difference being that I wanted to do some drugs because they seemed mostly harmless and fun (they were) and I don’t use any ai stuff because it seems completely useless to me (it is).
