Adblockers are not allowed for this hypothetical.
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.
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?
What AI propaganda are you talking about exactly?
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.
