I feel like theres a need to distinguish between
“it’s impossible to avoid using generative AI these days (because you need it to write emails and resumes and class assignments and work reports)”
and
“it’s impossible to avoid using generative AI these days (because it comes up automatically on search engine results, and shopping websites use it to summarize customer reviews, and phone cameras automatically use it to enhance your photos without asking, and spellcheckers in browsers and writing software now use it instead of actual dictionaries, and turn themselves back on with every update even when you turned them off– so unless you have a VERY strict list of what websites and programs you use, and you NEVER have to stray from that list for any reason, it’s gonna get forced on you without your consent)”
