I don’t want this AI

I don’t want an AI to create uncanny valley renderings for fan casts of film remakes.

I would love an AI I can train to prune my phone’s photo library so that I can quickly find the best shots to share after a day out with my kids.

I don’t want an AI to generate SEO optimized content so I don’t have to write something.

I would love an AI that helped me sort my RSS feeds for the most important things for me to read, so I could more quickly collect ideas for response posts or newsletter links.

I don’t want a plagiarizing Ouroboros that tries to mimic human creativity, but ends up generating mediocre recycled snake shit.

I would like an AI that could analyze my ideas and show me comps, or suggest that there’s more work I need to do to craft something unique.

I do not need a flirty AI digital assistant programmed by people who continue to miss the point of the science fiction classic “Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.”

I would love it if the people working on applications of AI would appreciate human imagination, craft, and connections instead of thinking there’s a need for a “better” simulation of those things.
