"are instead being forced ot ignore ai or pledge to be anti ai by their social circles and customers."

umm. im pretty sure you don't need to worry about that.

    Why? I consistently see these anti AI purity tests come up.

    We need people who are skeptical to engage on AI.

    People hate technology and change. Before AI it was smartphones. Before smartphones it was photoshop/digital art and CGI. Before CGI it was the Internet. Before Internet it was TV. Before TV it was cars. Before cars it was industry. Before industry it was books.

    Someone probably was anti cave paintings because it ruined the skill of passing down the stories by word of mouth.

    Something is always coming along that is both horrible for society as it is and something we come to accept as common place. You can want to return to our roots but even that I guarantee you would still pick some level of technology you don't want to do without.

    because people with a healthy mindset are not going to influenced or coerced by social circles. maybe their customers but that only applies to that customers deliverable.

    Being subject to social pressure doesn't make you weak or less than. It is a normal part of being a social animal.

    im sorry but it kinda does. it is not all that hard to not follow the herd or go against the grain or even leave a social circle. Many can't do it sure but many don't have healthy mindsets to.

    I am decidedly on the spectrum and very much prefer things to be clear-cur with precisely defined lines.

    You can be a healthy individual with solid beliefs and that is precisely why you can't in good conscience walk away from your family who might be struggling but always means well in their heart of hearts. Not bad people, just misguided. And on top of that, they're your only support network. You may disagree on everything except that you genuinely love one another and would never wish or bring harm upon one another.

    A healthy person would absolutely struggle with leaving that social circle. And this isn't really that far-fetched a scenario as most people really aren't that adamant and vitriolic in their beliefs as any given extreme would have you believe.

    So are you wrong? Not in every case, for sure. But you're also not really correct either. Human interactions are mostly nuance, which your assessment is entirely devoid of.

    you don't have to leave your family and friends because of differences in views on ai.

    I did not. you have read through the whole chain to see it started with someone suggesting impactful folks in the industry will somehow be conjoled by family, friends, and apparently customers to buy the ai line. I even mentioned customers has having an effect. My whole response was people like this are strong enough for that not to be a concern. I mean all sorts of other concerns but not that one.
