Comment on I could quit AI anytime I want to
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 10 hours agoI would do just fine without AI like I did when we didn’t have the Internet.
I mean, I considered the internet a godsend for a whole host of reasons and have been much better off with it than without it. Auto-Nav alone has saved me more hours utterly lost in my car than I care to think about.
But i would manage either way.
Wouldn’t really have a choice.
But then that’s the thing with AI. It’s not “the internet”. It’s this superfluous annoying add-on that keeps getting forced into platforms I was perfectly happy to use without it.

I’m not using any “forced on me” AI products, other than as a search engine aid, and I have better tools for that now anyway.
I do, absolutely use AI. I use local, self hosted small focused AI that run on old hardware I was just using to self host media and games anyway.
Want do my AI do? Lots of boring organizing, text/voice recognition, and script/simple coding for hobby projects and such, all offline. For online stuff there are private large Available, but those cost money and I’m cheap.
