I was editing a standard legal brief when the new AI Assistant sidebar popped up unprompted and said: “I noticed you’ve been working on this for six hours. Based on your erratic cursor movements and the amount of times you’ve deleted the word ‘hereby,’ I’ve drafted a resignation letter and scheduled a therapy appointment for you. Also, your subscription fee is increasing by $5 because I’m doing the emotional labor now.”
I tried to close the window, but it just asked if I wanted to “Summary of my Failures” instead. Between the ghost in the machine judging my life choices and the fact that I’m paying a monthly fee to be bullied by a PDF, I am at my breaking point.
Does anyone have an editor that just… displays the text? No AI life coaches, no cloud-based judgment, and definitely no monthly ransom? I’m ready to print everything out and use a typewriter.
You can just tell it, directly, I’m sorry but I didn’t ask for that.
Or I’m sorry what? Why are you interfering.
I call out my AI all the timethis post lloked suspicios so i looked it up online sure enough its a copy paste from a recent reddit post
continuation from the original redit post:
EDIT: Okay, fine, I added some drama to make it funny but in reality here’s what happened 🤣: I was actually in the middle of a complex contract revision with a ticking deadline, and an intrusive Adobe AI prompt popped up, covering up half my text, aggressively asking if I wanted to use Generative Fill to “spicen up my legalese.” When I tried to close the sidebar, it froze Acrobat, and I lost 15 minutes of work during a force restart. So no, it didn’t call a therapist, but it definitely made me need one. The bloat is still real.
EDIT: The solution was searching for an old version of acrobat! I found a lifetime key for acrobat dc 2024, if you have the same problem google adobe keypunch. There you find what you’re looking for!
