And this is AFTER I went in and disabled smart features and remove it as an app.

someone requested some LLM to access our github repos (all 900 of them) recently.

the company I work for is a very AI positive. I however, am not.

instead of outright rejecting the request I have ignored it.

in 3-6 months I'll reject it, until then I'll just keep ignoring it and making up excuses when it comes up.

I have a colleague who is basically illiterate (English as first language, too!) and she recently started using Gemini to E-mail people and it’s so embarrassing. People think they’re just talking to an LLM chatbot, which I suppose they might as well be.

If a coworker doesn't bother to write the email, I'm not going to bother reading it lol.

Ugh these E-mails go out to clients, but our E-mail’s are tracked in our database so if one of us is out, the rest of us can help a client in need. Reading her outgoing E-mails is painful.

The other day, she called someone by their dead wife’s name, and didn’t even answer their question. She also survived the latest round of layoffs, much the the chagrin of the rest of us on the team.

and didn’t even answer their question

TBF, that's like half the email replies I get when I ask a basic question.

Can you provide more context? What's that and what are the consequences for you disabling it?

[-] IcedRaktajino@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

Google Workspace (what the company I work for uses for collaboration).

  1. I don't want Gemini/AI. At all.
  2. If you disable it, it still pops up constantly.

If your Google workspace is managed by an administrator, you may not have the rights to disable it. Even if you disable it in your account, if the group policy has it turned on it'll still operate.

If you're allowed to use Firefox and ublock origin, you can block it at the page level. Scripts can't run if they don't load.

It is managed, but I can disable smart features and remove it as an app. But it still pops up constantly (basically like an ad). If you try to do anything from the pop-up, it tells you it needs to be enabled to work. So, it knows it's disabled but still shoves itself in my face as if I accidentally clicked into 4 different deep settings pages to disable it lol.

I can and do use FF, but I use Chrome for Workspace because .... stupid company policy reasons. It works in FF, but the way they have SSO configured, you get logged out every 45 minutes.
