    Because:

    1. I’m not a lazy, smooth-brained rube.
    2. I’m not in the business of selling AI to lazy, smooth-brained rubes
    3. I have no stake in the supply chain nor do I stand to profit from those selling AI to lazy, smooth-brained rubes.

    Furthermore:

    1. I don’t trust “AI”. If I’m going to have to fact check it anyway, might as well just do it myself and earn the damn knowledge.
    2. AI does not work for me (or you). It works for the companies who are forcing it on you and sucking up your data.
    3. The energy costs and water requirements are mindbogglingly staggering
    4. I refuse to feed or ride any hype train
    5. It’s creating scarcity of things that could be put to better use (energy, water, computer components, land, talent, you name it).
    6. It’s not even AI. It’s just a dead-end bullshit generator
