Do not want, I want none of it and no part of it.
I'll use Lynx before I use that.
AI is already infesting search results directly (til I adblocked it), writing the crap on whatever page I just landed on and led me to turn unhook up to "just show the damn video" on YT.
I've yet to see a single use of AI that in any way improves my life and I'm supposed to hand companies who are already too powerful even more of my life/data for that.
I'll pass.
From my point of view it's become very tiresome pretending the emperor is wearing clothes or at least not pointing that out.
Yet people are using AI for therapy, listening to AI-written novels read by AI, gladly watching AI-made slop. There seems to be real actual demand for it. Feels like total insanity to me; but here we are and facts are facts.
I guess whether the emperor is wearing clothes or not never actually mattered.
I saw someone post a Gemini summary from a Google search as their interpretation of a legal question (not a lawyer) and, when they were called on it, scoffed that they hadn’t used AI. People don’t even know when they’re relying on AI at this point. Which isn’t great given the current state of things.
