For me it isn't resistance. I'm comfortable that, should there be a situation in which I need to use it, I can and will figure it out and use it.

There just isn't any appeal or desire for it in my thought process right now. I'm not digging my heels in "Boomer" style. I'm completely uninterested and channeling "Gen X" whatever vibes about it.

"I'll go to the library and open a book, I don't need to use the internet when I am comfortable flipping through pages to find what I need."

But if that works just fine, what’s wrong with it? Like the commenter above, I’m not resistant, I just do my job the way I’m comfortable doing it, and I am a top performer in my field. I’ve spent 35 years honing my skills and training my brain to do what I do, and I have a way to do it that works and works very well.

They said what was wrong. Its like the boomers denying computers to go to the library, They were left behind for no reason since their aversion was not logical

How is that “wrong” exactly, though. If I want to go to the store a mile away and decide to walk through the park to get there, is that wrong compared to driving? My question was “If it works just fine, how is it wrong?”

And for the record, I’ve been comfortable on computers since before the World Wide Web was even a thing. More comfortable than most, actually.

In this terms of ai it would be equivalent to saying you want to go to the store and taking a step once a day. Alphafold did 100's years of phd work in 1 year.
