I work a desk job full-time and I'm fundamentally against Generative AI (for multiple reasons) but oh my god it has become so commonly used in just a few years? Recently it's become even worse.
In two days I've had one colleague use it to translate "en préparation" from French to English, and another use it to ask "what is the biggest region of France".
Two things that actually take less time to get an answer with a search engine query than this??
I've also had 3 instances of coworkers putting my face (and sometimes theirs too) in "fun" Gen AI pictures for work events. Never asked for my consent.
This is the bad place.
