AI Resist List Turns AI Critique Into Action
Terence Eden uses an Ocado customer-service exchange to argue that obviously AI-generated replies can make legitimate technical complaints feel dismissed, while a later human response restores trust. The [AI Resist List](https://airesistlist.org/) provides a broader framework for documenting harms, challenging hype, refusing unnecessary automation, and building alternatives.
The post lands because it frames AI resistance as a product-quality and accountability issue, not merely a culture-war stance.
- –Automation can triage, summarize, and cluster complaints without pretending to be a person.
- –Generic agreement and stylistic tells matter less than failing to engage with technical substance.
- –Human escalation shows trust is recoverable when ownership and accountability are visible.
- –The AI Resist List broadens the developer conversation to adoption, labor, data, infrastructure, and policy.
