I've sent this to a couple of people where I work: https://dontpastetheai.com/

Several years ago we had our Teams status set to https://nohello.com/ and it seemed to help.

More than useless.

Reverse centaur in full swing.

Literally had a coworker, who unfortunately is a bit above me in the hierarchy, do this.

A system that I basically admin/manage was having issues in a way related to the system she manages. She reported an issue to me and I explained how the systems were related and asked her if she had any ideas on solutions from her end. She responded with fairly detailed instructions about where to find a setting in my system that would solve the problem.

Except the where was kind of simultaneously vague and specific at the same time. The description and name of the setting was very specific (and unfamiliar to me) but the location of the setting was one level too high in the hierarchy - there were no settings there... all settings were one level deeper in the hierarchy in subgroups. So I trolled through them all looking for the setting and couldn't find it anywhere - I even ran a search and couldn't find it.

I asked her where she found this setting was documented because it was having trouble finding it... and she responded with the name of a popular AI Chatbot, and three more similar "solutions" that also wasted my time.

I work in IT at a little tiny podunk shop and more and more often I remote a customer's machine and see at least 1 GPT tab open in their browser. I'm going to have the add "Meat proxy" to my vocabulary and I don't like it, as I'm a big fan of "Meat popsicle" from the Fifth Element.

"Sir do you classify as human?"

"Negative. I am a meat popsicle."

I believe the term is "cog sucker" and it's also disingenuous to call them a person since cog suckers are not people.

Why not clanker bitch

"Sir, are you classified as human?" "Negative. I am a meat popsicle."

You know, I've seen people use the "Chinese Room" thought experiment to argue whether AI is actually thinking or just an intermediary with a workflow, but perhaps we are the ones in the room. Uh oh.

Applying to jobs in a nutshell.

AI is going to read your resume/cover letter anyways. Just stick the ai slop into the AI slop reader
