Ai being shoved into everything has a problem that even pro ai individuals can probably agree on: you have no control on what the ai is or what it’s supposed to do. It will be biased in favor of whomever is shoving it at you. The only ai you can trust is the service you chose, better yet something self hosted.

There is exactly one place where I want ai: in its browser window that’s directed at the service of my choice (ideally something self hosted).

I don’t want an ai sidebar.

I don’t want ai search summaries.

I don’t want ai assisted shopping.

I don’t want ai snooping in my photo gallery.

I don’t want ai in my emails.

And I don’t want to watch other people’s slop. I can prompt my own, fuck off.

This has been part 3 of a series of comments on my nuanced opinion regarding ai.

I’ve noticed both the pro ai and anti ai camps become increasingly hostile to each other, and if you’re like me and have a nuanced opinion then you get lumped into the other camp.

It’s actually the best walking simulator ever made, as the focus is on, you know, walking places.
