Dumbfucks out here saying "you can't live without AI". Motherfuckers, I'm older than the personal computer. I'm a lot older than the Internet. I don't need a sparkly chatbot to tell me lies. It's not sentient. It barely functions as a set of instructions to accomplish any task. My speak & spell did better work than this bullshit. Yes, I do function every day without the use of this crap and will continue to do so. I don't need it and neither do you.

@TheJen@beige.party The bonkers thing is that all this AI shit is only a few years old at most. And it's like they completely forgot how to work all of a sudden.

@TheJen@beige.party never mind all the irritation from propaganda exposure, when I told Google they could no longer use my GMail to feed their AI maw, Google promptly removed a whole bunch of useful functionality that it had had for decades claiming it was impossible without AI. So yeah, taking it away should make things go back to the better before right? Right?

@TheJen@beige.party You sure it wasn't a typo and they meant to say 'Air'? You can't live without air.

@TheJen@beige.party it’s like they don’t even realize there’s a whole group of people that literally have no AI in their life. Absolutely nothing would change in my life if it disappeared.
