Three and a half months passed since I'm away from my #tech job.

1. I feel like a different person.
2. My wife says I'm different (better) person.
3. My dogs seem to enjoy my companionship more than before.
4. I started to enjoy my hobbies again.
5. I took care of many things around the house with pleasure even though it was a hard work.
6. I sleep well.
7. I am not nervous anymore.

Note that not all text from the image fitted in this Alt text... Generative Al is based on massive theft from creatives, without consent, credit or compensation. Using gen-Al is asking a chatbot to spit out the combined efforts of ripped-off creatives. It is industrializing and devaluing human expression, artistry and craftsmanship. Creatives are losing their jobs and motivation because tech corporations unscrupulously absorb and exploit their work. Tech corporations are building more and more huge Al data centers, consuming lots of internet bandwidth, energy, water and other valuable resources, increasing scarcity, prices and emissions, degrading the already fragile environment. When you're using an LLM like a chatbot or image generator, every bit of data you submit helps build a personal profile of you and your relatives, contributing to the power and reach of corporations and governments, and decreasing your privacy and security. Generative Al enables fake images, videos, text and speech that are widely used for abuse, deception, cybercrime, misinformation and propaganda, polluting safety, justice, science, news reporting and much more. Al use outsources your thinking and decision-making. Challenging your brain is essential to maintain mental agility, and to avoid Al dependency. Increasingly leaving tasks up to chatbots and gen-Al will result in a decline of skills, problem-solving capacity, independence and self-confidence.
