@ngaylinn@tech.lgbt People are scared that people look down on them for leaning on this tech, he may have been using it much more in ways you don't know about. I think that there is an impulse to hide the use kind of says everything. The shame isn't coming from other people, it's ones own self-respect saying that this is lazy, inconsiderate, hollow. AI use guilt is real. And justified.

@ngaylinn@tech.lgbt I know of some one who asks AI things like "my co-worker asked me to cover for them, how do I say no without making them mad?" It might be OK advice, but by using it one is avoiding the friction and danger of human interactions. I get it. Social interactions are terrifying. But, if I use a machine to help me never make a "mistake" will anyone even know who I am anymore? I am an annoying person. That would be lost.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @ngaylinn@tech.lgbt I wish there was more gigantic-personal-vehicle use guilt. Although a neighbour bought one, then sold his wife's small car and bought her an EV, so that's something, except she wasn't consulted.

@ngaylinn@tech.lgbt @futurebird@sauropods.win The interesting and terrifying psychology here is that “use guilt” is followed by a campaign to get everyone else on the bandwagon instead of using better tools. This is a significant factor in why we have such a ridiculous and irrational collective action problem in so many areas, as the last decades amply demonstrate in so many areas. Never mind teaching children to “use tech” and “prompt AI”… how about teaching people some tools for self-reflection, emotional maturity, and personal growth?
