are you also annoyed as fuck that when you google something you get an AI generated response?
next time search for something with "-ai" at the end of your search and you won't get it
my favorite thing I discovered recently

I add -ai to my google searches and that helps but I feel like it’s embedded in everything now :(

Truly, nobody likes this shit right? I feel like it’s being pushed as hard as crypto was a few years ago, and something that needs that much time/money/effort to force into relevance has to be a scam at the end of the day

I use ecosia.org as a sea engine. No AI answers and they use their profits to plant trees 🌴

unfortunately, google doesn’t let you opt out of using their ridiculously inaccurate and environmentally damaging ai “tool”, but if u add “-ai“ to the end of ur google search, it won’t generate! unfriendly reminder that ai will use 6.6 BILLION cubic meters of water annually by 2027. each response w 100 words = 1.2 bottles of water.
ps fuck all these tech companies for not letting us opt out of unreliable tools that destroy our planet

I feel weird that this is an unpopular opinion. It's so hard to find things that don't come integrated with AI. But you fully can do it, it's only a question of willpower! We had a life before generative AI and it wasn't so bad. Even if it seems inconvenient to do an extra web search just to get your answer, do it! My problem with swearing off AI was writing emails and letters professionally in the right tone but I promise there are so many templates available online so you don't have to depend on AI to do your work.

my friend was visiting and asked me to help her with the merch booth she was working. and it brought me so much joy. in these current horrors, help your friends. you know what other things bring joy to my life? going grocery shopping with my friends. driving people to the airport. reading books beside each other in coffee shops. helping someone find an obscure pepper paste in town. selling shirts at a country show. trying to find an obscure theory book together for book club. sitting on someone's kitchen floor while they do dishes. you can't complain about the lack of community you experience without being apart of your immediate community, the small things happen to be the most fun and rewarding things to be a part of. support your loved ones.
