Dear Big Tech, I get it. You’ve invested massive amounts in your 'AI' (basically keeping the money in a closed loop and patting yourselves on the back).
I get that you needed to 'invent' something new to break the product stagnation.
I understand all of that.But *please*, stop forcing it on us everywhere.
AI should be an option, not an imposition.Those who want to use it know exactly where to find it.
For everything else, we just don't care. I want to go back to being a user and a customer, not your product.

@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe I would say I don't want to be your customer again

@Stomata I mean: being a customer means choosing to be a customer, which is a matter of freedom. Pushing AI everywhere is an imposition. And I'm against any kind of imposition.

@stefano i agree with you 100% - the user should always have the freedom to choose what the user wants. i recently switched to ungoogled chromium/dooble and mojeek search to avoid AI in the web browser and search engine. openbsd and netbsd are fantastic operating systems to avoid the AI. i'm not sure how freebsd's discussion went but i know they were discussing if and how to use it, if at all. AI is creeping into the Linux distributions and the kernel is accepting AI code but that developer takes full responsibility with copyright and other potential issues the code may present.

@stefano the problem is, they don't want customers, they want subscribers. And for that, something like AI is a blessing in disguise - soft forcing you to pay the subsciption fee.. why? because before that, there was a product with let's say 10 major functions - now they are selling the same product, with AI - you don't have to subscribe for their AI functionality, but then the same product will only have 5 out of these 10 functions fully available.

@peterk exactly. You can't own such an "AI" locally. Sure, Open Source models exist but, if I'm not wrong, they're far behind and still require lots of computing power. So it's their dream: something that you need but that nobody else can provide.
