Internet without AI easily, because lets be real. If the AI were on the ad free internet, they'd just be the vector for the ads to be distributed. You'd think you're talking to a person, and you'll find you're really talking to a chatbot who is going to try and influence you to buy its operator's products.

Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.
Rules:
- Follow dbzer0 rules.

That would be a funny dystopia
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.
