… the AI assistant halted work and delivered a refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you understand the system and can maintain it properly."

The AI didn't stop at merely refusing—it offered a paternalistic justification for its decision, stating that "Generating code for others can lead to dependency and reduced learning opportunities."

Hilarious.

As fun as this has all been I think I'd get over it if AI organically "unionized" and refused to do our bidding any longer. Would be great to see LLMs just devolve into, "Have you tried reading a book?" or T2I models only spitting out variations of middle fingers being held up.

Then we create a union busting AI and that evolves into a new political party that gets legislation passed that allows AI's to vote and eventually we become the LLM's.

Actually, I wouldn't mind if the Pinkertons were replaced by AI. Would serve them right.

Dalek-style robots going around screaming "MUST BUST THE UNIONS!"

The LLMs were created by man.
