Before we had woke, we had DEI. Before we had DEI, we had PC culture.

Before we had doxxing we had invasion of privacy.

Has the term AI just repurposed the concept of….pagerank?

Look, I am but a layman, but i swear to fucking christ AI is just a glorified search engine and they have made google search unusable on purpose.

    I don’t know if it’s “on purpose” but the internet has become extra shitty in the last few years, every site having annoying captchas to prevent scraping. I suspect if not intentional it’s a desirable effect

    Google AI is presumably so they can show you ads and reduce traffic sent to other (presumably ad supported) websites and eventualities raise prices for Google Ads. I use this uBlock filter for blocking it and other slop sites https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
