You Don’t Have to Love AI to Be Smart About It

Jul 30, 2025

The world is moving fast—and not always in a direction that feels good. Every week brings a new AI tool, a new headline about automation, or a new reminder that the technology we’re told will “make life easier” is also reshaping jobs, privacy, and creativity in ways we can’t fully control.

If AI makes you uneasy, you’re not alone. But here’s the hard truth: “just ignoring it” isn’t an option anymore. AI is already showing up in your workplace, your school system, and even the apps you use daily. And that means the only way to protect yourself (and the things you care about) is to understand it well enough to push back.

That’s why I created The AI Haters’ Guide to Navigating the New Frontier.


This isn’t a guide for tech evangelists.

You won’t find hype or “AI will change everything!” predictions here. What you will find is a straightforward, values-driven approach to living in a world where AI is expanding—without being steamrolled by it.

Inside the guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Own your why: Get clear on your real concerns and the values you want to protect.

  • Spot the hype: Learn how to see through marketing designed to make you feel left behind.

  • Guard your autonomy: Practical ways to set boundaries and keep your data and work safe.

  • Push for guardrails: How to talk to decision-makers, advocate for stronger protections, and connect with others doing the same.

  • Build community: Because resisting harmful tech is always more powerful when we do it together.

You’ll also get a plain-language glossary of AI buzzwords (no more “what does that even mean?”), plus a curated Resource Gallery with advocacy groups, privacy tools, and campaigns worth knowing.


Why it matters now

If we don’t pay attention, AI will be shaped entirely by the corporations building it—and history shows that “progress” usually benefits the few at the expense of the many. You don’t need to become a tech expert or AI evangelist, but you can refuse to be flattened by forces outside your control.

This guide will help you do exactly that.
