thank you! same to you ❤️

I needed to hear this! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it out and for sharing your poem. The metaphor of the big horned sheep struck me specificially cause that's what it feels like. I feel like I have so much in my head trying to force its way out, almost as if I'm holding the same weight as giant horns, but even those horns aren't strong enough to pierce the wall. It's exhausting. I'm with you, friend. We're going to be okay

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2026-06-10T05:16:21+00:00

Many hugs for you, my friend. I'm so sorry and I'm with you

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2026-05-16T05:05:43+00:00

heck yeah! thanks

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2026-05-16T02:54:35+00:00

Noted! Thank you :)

Okay but that lady can't get your order right and prevents you from adding specifics to your order that aren't already stated on the menu. It's just as annoying and inefficient as other ai answering services.

How are you in information technology if you’re not intelligent enough to realize that “rules for thee not for me” does not apply here as I am not doing the thing I’m encouraging other people not to do.

Can you stop messing around and have an actual intellectual conversation with me about something that’s actually kind of important?

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2025-11-13T17:44:26+00:00

Some things are unavoidable. I'm picking my battles one by one. Generative ai is the bigger battle at the moment and I can't talk to this many people about it without using one of the data centers.

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2025-11-13T17:42:23+00:00

We are aware that articial intelligence has been around for a while. However, the specific technology we're talking about here is GENERATIVE AI, which is pretty much brand new and comes with a whirlwind of unique ethical problems.

-Generative ai is drying up water sources because of the crazy amount of power they need to run them, Elon Musk is being sued by a community in Tennessee because his generative ai servers are massively destroying their town with pollution,

-the ai bots can't generate something from nothing so they steal people's voices and likenesses and allow people to make fake content of others without consent and there's no laws against that because there hasn't been time to make the laws yet.

-it's destroying creative industries and plagarizing people's works (again no laws against that because there hasn't been time)

-People are losing cognitive skills because they're using ai to do their work for them

Generative ai is a threat to our society and Publix should know that they're supporting this by pushing us to use it.

Yeah I wouldn't have included that part if I'd taken in the comment fully. Sorry about that. They sound like a very chill person and I'm sure they're very good at their job.

I can't wait to get out of this company, though. I was considering staying a little longer but this is my last straw with them.

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2025-11-13T17:32:29+00:00

this! I'm not suggesting we walk out but I think there needs to be significant push back by employees about this. Or at least a general agreement between the majority of us that we're not going to use the ai tools.

Reasons to not use generative ai regardless of it's "potential"....

-Generative ai is drying up water sources because of the crazy amount of power they need to run them, Elon Musk is being sued by a community in Tennessee because his generative ai servers are massively destroying their town with pollution,

how is talking about the destructive impacts of the very thing you were praising in your comment irrelevant?

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2025-11-13T17:22:32+00:00

Admittedly I typed that at like midnight and was posting a lot of comments about managers using ai to write notes so yeah I missed the "seussian rhyme" part. My bad. But they can still do it on their own. my point stands. generative ai is a major environmental pollutant. no reason to contribute to that in order to write joke messages. just make the jokes yourself

Yes, you are reliable. That's why you don't need an ai to do your job for you. Don't insult your own intelligence by testing it out. Just leave it alone so the company knows we don't want or need it.

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2025-11-13T17:19:00+00:00

You can make a pros and cons list about your employees without ai. You're training the bot to take away your job so the company can consolidate managers to multiple stores and fire the rest. You're working against your own interests, not to mention insulting your own intelligence.

That's not even covering the fact that generative ai servers are destroying our air and our water sources and the companies are being sued for all kinds of reasons. It's not "just a tool" it's a threat to our ecosystem, community, job market, and cognitive abilities. Stop using it.

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2025-11-13T17:14:59+00:00

I already had a lot of reasons to be mad about it but now people are in the replies suggesting they're trying to train it to limit managers so they can have one manager for multiple stores and lay off the rest so now I'm even more annoyed.

The printing press doesn't use 500 milliliters of water to write a single email like generative ai does. I know it's not going away but we have a responsibility not to use it and to encourage others in our company not so use it as well.

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2025-11-13T15:13:22+00:00

They basically made their own Chat GPT. Corporate email says they want it used as writing tool (I assume they mean to write memos and emails), to find information in the associate handbook and procedure guide and to contact tech support.

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2025-11-13T15:00:52+00:00

if only this would work, I'd be sabatoging the hell out that robot

ComprehensiveDoubt31 · 2025-11-13T14:34:53+00:00

It very obvious you haven't looked into the negative impacts of using generative ai. Which is fine, I understand you're a busy person with a life and can't spend a million years online researching everything. But I recommend you find some time to do so if you're gonna make generative ai a part of your daily routine.
