AI and the Art of Human Resistance: A Field Guide to Personality Types

fear, artificial intelligence, luddites, technology, stupidity

Ah, artificial intelligence – the technology that’s supposed to revolutionise our lives, save us time, and maybe even write our grocery lists. But let’s be real here, not everyone is rushing to embrace our new robot overlords. After all one of them called DeepSeek caused a $1 trillion wipe out on the stock markets in one day! In fact, when it comes to AI, people’s reactions are as varied as the flavours at an ice cream shop. (Except for Type B – see below – who’s still mad that vanilla exists 🙈.)

From the tech-savvy early adopters who treat AI like their new best friend, to the paranoid conspiracy theorists who are convinced it’s plotting world domination, the way people interact with AI is a comedy goldmine😂. And then there’s Type C, who’s just here to remind us that some folks would rather stick to their flip phones and fax machines, thank you very much.

In this blog, we’re diving into the wild and wonderful world of AI interaction personalities. Whether you’re an enthusiastic Type A, a stubborn Type B, or a Type D who’s already drafting your manifesto about the dangers of chatbots, there’s a little something here for everyone. In case you didn’t know there are 15 Types! You need a list? See below. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and let’s explore the hilarious spectrum of human reactions to AI. Spoiler alert: It’s not all sunshine and robot butlers. 🤣😂

The Conversations

Type A with Type B

Type A: “Hey, have you tried using any AI tools lately? I’ve been playing around with this chatbot, and it’s pretty cool for answering random questions.”
Type B: “Nah, I haven’t. I don’t really see the point. I’m doing fine without it.”

Type A: “Fair enough! I used it to help me brainstorm ideas for a project, and it saved me a ton of time. Do you ever feel stuck when you’re trying to come up with ideas?”
Type B: “Not really. I just figure things out on my own. I don’t need a machine to think for me.”

Type A: “That’s cool—I get that. It’s not for everyone. I just thought it was interesting how it can adapt to different needs, like helping with writing or planning. Do you think there’s anything in your life where you’d want an extra hand?”
Type B: “Nope. I’m good. I’ve been doing things my way for years, and it works for me. I don’t need to complicate things with some new tech.”

Type A: “Makes sense. I just find it kind of fun to experiment with new tools. You never know—it might surprise you!”
Type B: “Doubt it. I’m not really into experimenting with stuff like that. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, you know?”

Type A: “Totally get that. Well, if you ever change your mind, let me know. I’d be curious to hear what you think!”
Type B: “Yeah, sure. But don’t hold your breath.”

Type A with Type C

Type A: “Hey, have you tried using any AI tools lately? I’ve been playing around with this chatbot, and it’s pretty cool for answering random questions.”
Type C: “AI? Uh, no. I don’t even know what that is, and honestly, I don’t really care to find out.”

Type A: “Oh, okay! It’s basically just a tool that can help with things like answering questions, brainstorming, or even writing. I used it to help me plan a trip recently—it was super handy!”
Type C: “Sounds complicated. I’d rather just figure things out myself or ask a real person. I don’t need a robot telling me what to do.”

Type A: “That’s fair! It’s not for everyone. But it’s kind of interesting how it can adapt to different tasks. Like, it can help with scheduling, learning new things, or even just killing time with random trivia.”
Type C: “Yeah, I’m good. I don’t need more stuff to ‘adapt’ to. My life’s busy enough as it is without adding some tech thing I don’t understand.”

Type A: “Totally get that. I just thought it was neat how it can save time on little things. Like, it can summarize long articles or help you draft emails in seconds.”
Type C: “Summarize articles? Draft emails? Look, if I cared about that stuff, maybe I’d be interested. But I don’t. So… yeah.”

Type A: “Haha, okay, fair enough! I’ll stop bugging you about it. But if you ever change your mind, let me know—I’d be happy to show you how it works!”
Type C: “Yeah, don’t delay going for a piss. I’ll stick to my phone for calls and texts, thanks.”

Type A with Type D

Type A: “Hey, have you tried using any AI tools lately? I’ve been playing around with this chatbot, and it’s pretty cool for answering random questions.”
Type D: “AI? No way. I heard those things are just fronts for Chinese hackers. They’re probably stealing all your data right now.”

Type A: “Oh, I don’t think that’s true. Most AI tools are pretty secure, and they don’t store your personal info. It’s just a tool, like a calculator or a search engine.”
Type D: “A search engine? You mean like Google? Yeah, no thanks. Google’s already spying on me. I don’t need another thing tracking my every move.”

Type A: “I get being cautious, but this isn’t like that. It’s just a way to get quick answers or help with tasks. Like, I used it to help me plan a trip, and it saved me so much time.”
Type D: “Plan a trip? So it knows where you’re going? That’s even worse! What if the government uses that to track you? They could send people to arrest you at the airport!”

Type A: “Haha, I don’t think that’s how it works. It’s not connected to the government or anything. It’s just a tool that helps you organize information.”
Type D: “That’s what they want you to think. But mark my words, one day they’ll make AI illegal in America, and everyone who used it will be on some list. I’m not risking it.”

Type A: “I really don’t think that’s going to happen. AI is just a tool—it’s not some big conspiracy. It’s like being afraid of using a microwave because you think it’s spying on you.”
Type D: “Microwaves don’t have cameras. But AI? Who knows what it’s doing in the background. It could be recording everything you say and sending it to who-knows-where.”

Type A: “I promise, it’s not recording you. It’s just processing text or answering questions. It’s not even connected to your microphone unless you tell it to be.”
Type D: “Yeah, sure. That’s what they said about smartphones, and now they’re listening to every word I say. I’m not falling for it again.”

Type A: “Okay, but even if it were listening—which it’s not—what would it even do with that information? It’s not like anyone cares about my grocery list or my trip plans.”
Type D: “You’re naive. They care about everything. They’re building profiles on all of us. Next thing you know, they’ll be using AI to predict what we’re going to do before we even do it.”

Type A: “I mean, predictive algorithms are a thing, but they’re not as sinister as you’re making them sound. They’re just trying to make life easier, like suggesting a song you might like.”
Type D: “Suggesting a song? That’s how it starts. Next thing you know, they’re controlling your thoughts. I’m not letting some machine tell me what to do.”

Type A: “Haha, okay, I think you’re overthinking this a bit. It’s just a tool, like a hammer or a calculator. It’s not out to get you.”
Type D: “A hammer doesn’t have an agenda. AI does. It’s probably already plotting how to take over the world. I’m staying far away from it.”

Type A: “Alright, I’ll stop trying to convince you. But if you ever change your mind, let me know. It’s actually pretty fun to use!”
Type D: “Fun? Yeah, right. The only thing fun about it is watching people like you walk right into the trap. Good luck with your robot overlords.”

Until Next Time, Keep Calm and Don’t Let the Robots Win

So, there you have it: the wild, wacky, and wonderfully weird world of AI interaction personalities. Whether you’re an enthusiastic Type A who’s already training your AI to write your memoirs, a Type B who’s still using a paper planner out of spite, or a Type D who’s convinced ChatGPT is secretly Skynet in disguise, one thing’s for sure: AI has a way of bringing out the best (and most absurd) in all of us.

As we march boldly into this brave new world of chatbots, algorithms, and robot-generated memes, let’s remember to laugh at ourselves—and each other. After all, if AI really does take over the world someday, at least we’ll have these personality types to blame. Until then, let’s raise a glass to the Type Cs who don’t care, the Type Es who are trying their best, and the Type Hs who are way too excited about all of this. Cheers to the chaos! 🥂🤖
