Plugging into chatgpt how to play a certain game for example spits out clear and concise information I'd spend the better part of half an hour scraping reddit for and subjecting myself to psychic damage. And it makes me feel bad in turn that I'm part of the problem polluting the earth with this crap. Honestly feels like the internet has been enshitified on purpose just to make people have to rely on ai to navigate it without throwing your hands up in frustration.

You know, I'm out of tech now, so I hadn't thought about this because it doesn't come up as much in my daily life anymore. Being a sysadmin is one of those professional googler type of jobs. I was pretty damn good at finding what I needed, and known for it. Now you just ask the magic box.

This feels very old man shaking fist at clouds, but alas.

I used AI one whole time when I couldn't figure out where a setting was in a program, and it just got it wrong and I spent another half-hour (it probably wasn't actually that long) trying to find it myself, but even more angry because I had interacted with AI.

I shall take my keywords and search modifiers to my grave.
