According to Pew Research more than half of Americans are concerned about AI's existence, and only 10% are excited about its possibilities.
Another survey suggests that this 10% mostly consists of managers who don't understand their business and view AI as a productivity miracle, while 85% of their workers see it as less than useless and prefer to just do the work themselves rather than cleaning up AI's mess.
One North Carolina software engineer seems to have found the best way out of management's AI mania: a religious exemption.
Erin Maus is a Unitarian Universalist and Unitarian Universalists believe … everything.
And it worked.
Her employer granted her the religious exemption. Now, she's coding vibe-free.
‘I'm writing my code and reviewing my code by hand, which seems crazy to say,‘ she told Business Insider.
‘Just two years ago, how else would you do it?'
But it's not just the Unitarians who could file for the exemption.
Pope Leo has also condemned AI as unethical, particularly the huge numbers of people enslaved at data labeling centers around the world who are forced to work in near slave conditions teaching AI.
And the number of people suddenly finding religion just so they don't have to use AI is kind of hilarious.
The funny thing is, U.S. citizens don't have to prove their sincerely held beliefs. All these heathens don't have to actually convert to get the exemption.
Besides, at some point the companies will realize what Maus did:
Maus found that completing her coding tasks without AI was just as quick as her colleague, who used AI, telling the publication that ‘AI doesn't really seem to be this game changer.'
