美国图书馆员正在举办名为"Avoiding AI"的工作坊，教导参与者如何在个人设备上禁用Apple Intelligence、Gemini等AI功能[1]。这一倡议源自缅因州图书馆员Hannah Cyrus发表的相关文章，已引发全球数十名图书馆员的广泛关注与效仿[1]。该举措反映出公众对被迫采用AI工具的普遍不满[1]。
费城南部图书馆的图书馆员Charlie Bailey主持了其中一场工作坊，向参与者演示如何关闭Apple Intelligence和Gemini[1]。Bailey发布的社交媒体帖子获得2000多个赞和220次分享，表明这类工作坊引发了广泛共鸣[1]。Cyrus举办的首场工作坊参加人数约70人（含直播观众），远超通常约十人的平均参加人数[1]。
在工作坊中，参与者分享了多种实用技巧，包括在Google搜索URL后附加"&udm=14"以隐藏AI搜索结果等方法[1]。Cyrus对这一现象的解释是："被迫在人们设备上采用AI可能是压倒骆驼的最后一根稻草"[1]。工作坊因大量报名需求而不断扩展规模[1]。
Librarians across the United States are hosting workshops titled "Avoiding AI" to help the public disable artificial intelligence features on their devices, reflecting growing frustration with the forced adoption of AI tools by major technology companies.[1] The initiative gained traction following an article by Hannah Cyrus, a librarian in Bangor, Maine, who received dozens of inquiries from librarians worldwide seeking guidance on the subject.[1]
Cyrus's first workshop drew approximately 70 participants, including virtual attendees, far exceeding the typical turnout of about a dozen people at library events.[1] Charlie Bailey, a librarian at a public library in South Philadelphia, has been leading similar sessions that teach participants how to turn off Apple Intelligence and Gemini.[1] Bailey's social media post about the workshop generated over 2,000 likes and 220 shares, demonstrating substantial public interest.[1] Participants have shared practical techniques, such as appending "&udm=14" to Google search URLs to hide AI-generated results.[1]
Cyrus articulated the underlying sentiment driving these workshops, stating that "forcing AI onto people's devices may be the straw that broke the camel's back."[1] The expanding scope of these workshops underscores broader public concerns about the mandatory integration of artificial intelligence into everyday digital tools.
