AI is ruining my enjoyment of the internet

I am very critical of the influence social media, etc has had on society as a whole but is your irritation due to not understanding what to 'look out' for. I am exactly the same but my son will immediately say that's AI generated. Or that's a bot.

Yup.... I'm as cautious as I can be. glad I lead an ordinary boring life..

I dont know anything directly about this, but I do know that truth very much matters in life.

A few years ago I started keeping books that I may have passed on to people, as I want my grandchildren to know truths.

I went by the year 2014.
Anything published after that year[I did a best guess] is apt to be influenced by woke. Or worse.

what an extraordinary comment! Does this mean you don't read any fiction written since 2014? Or have I misunderstood?

The new Google serch facility is tailored to each one of us individually.
This is where all that information we have handed to them over the years is coming into its own 😉

There is no point, WW2 except that the whole pointlessness of it may be intentional. If people are fed unchecked factoids artificially collected and collated by robots for long enough, then pretty soon those who are searching for something to which they want to know the real answer will stop bothering to look (those who just want to be told what to think will accept either the first explanation they come to, or the most sensational one). Once no-one believes anything any more, those with evil intentions can go for global domination, steal everyone's possessions, and indulge in their favourite depravities unhindered, because the truth of what they are doing is hidden among all the lies.

Confused by "influenced by woke", what do you mean?

I don't like the new google AI either, it can be useful only to point in a direction of more research, ie specific articles on the topic, but that was there anyway.

But that is your truth as you see it. It might not be your grandchildren’s truth.
Btw. Woke originated in the 1940s. It was first penned by a black musician/ singer.

I agree. I follow a garden site on Facebook and it’s so obvious that many of the photos are AI generated.

I very much dislike the fact that now when I Google something the first result is an AI compilation of results from all around the world - much of which won't be applicable to me in the uk

Use the + in your serch bar. This acts as a filer. You can use several in a serch.

I agree Whitewavemark2

It is reaching the point where I don’t know what is real, what is factual and what is AI 🤷‍♀️

I couldn't agree more.
