Not a ragebait post.

I started thinking why I hate AI and it’s mostly:

  • It is pushed down my throat very hard for what it does;
  • The unauthorized use of content on the internet;
  • The worsening of the environmental crisis;
  • The content it generates is shit.

I am wondering do you have other arguments against it?

    We’re opening the door to charging for simple Google type searches. I worry that 15 years from now, I’ll have to pay like $1 per question.

    Search engines cost money to run. If you aren’t paying for the product, you’re being monetized some other way. You’re the product that’s served up to the real customers - the businesses who buy data and advertising.

    That’s why Kagi is a thing even though there’s free search engines all over the place - you pay a monthly subscription, and then you are the search engine’s customer.

      Kagi is honestly amazing. I was expecting it to be a little better than Google, but most of the time it even takes me back to a time before the great sloppification. I look stuff up and I find it, that’s all I want and I am gladly paying for that.
