Internet without AI easily, because lets be real. If the AI were on the ad free internet, they'd just be the vector for the ads to be distributed. You'd think you're talking to a person, and you'll find you're really talking to a chatbot who is going to try and influence you to buy its operator's products.

That would be a funny dystopia

Definitely without ads, as they are not only annoying, but also contain tracking, are potentially malicious and steal my time.

AI has its uses, AI slop is a menace though.

[-] Pechente@feddit.org 7 points 6 days ago

I agree, especially since AI slop is mostly driven by people who wanna get clicks and make money from ads. If you kill ads, you also kill AI abuse to a degree.

What about all the ai propaganda?

[-] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

What AI propaganda are you talking about exactly?

[-] treasure@feddit.org 1 points 6 days ago

AI propaganda is often sponsored by state level actors who used to spread their propaganda online "manually" before. So it's not like propaganda would go away if AI went away, it would just become more expensive again.

llm only exist because of surveillance capitalism. no ads also means no ai.

Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.
