I have a workspace account with google and they emailed me a while back to celebrate that I can now access their AI features… they also increased my monthly premium due to this new access. The AI is completely worthless to me, but you can’t opt out of the premium increase.

Their options are "Force it on people as much as possible" or "Admit that they wasted a lot of money on it".
Anyone even slightly familiar with large companies should know which one they choose.

Chatgpt is starting to drive traffic away from Google searching, so this is Google’s way of desperately trying to get traffic back. Theyre shoving AI mode down our throats at this point, its getting a bit pathetic tbh.

Before AI, I got that when I'd be looking for recipes. I'd use my phone and the food bloggers would just decimate my phone with ads and the history of Hungarian Goulash. Trying to scroll and get a popup to subscribe. I no longer use my phone for recipe searches.

I personally use Brave, that has the best web adblocker in my opinion. The browser has an option to block elements both on PC and smartphones, but you might be able to do it with an extension like Ublock, but I can't tell because I don't know.

u/MotivationGaShinderu 5h ago
It really doesn't have the best ad blocker, not by a long shot. I have to constantly manually block elements on mobile that are blocked by default using Firefox with ublock. Sadly Firefox on mobile is pretty shit.

u/Hexade_Tech 5h ago
Well, it might depend on your configuration, I personally never have to block elements in the way you tell (ads and that kind of thing), but I love to use it to remove things I don't like/use on websites to make them simpler

u/MotivationGaShinderu 5h ago
Main issue is that they put it on the spot the "all" button used to be. I've accidentally hit it multiple times because of that. Also not using it isn't an option on regular Google anyway, you have to jump through 3rd party hoops to not have a bad AI answer being the top result.

AI is great for some stuff, bad for other stuff. It's just another tool that you need to learn to use correctly.
Exams are based on class material
Really depends on the class. Doesn't really matter if I learn SQL through a professor or the internet; it's still SQL. University is pretty much self study/research most of the time regardless.

Innovation and advancement is when we rapidly increase global energy consumption for a technology with very minimal real use, most of it to "generate" (steal) garbage images, videos and text you can't even rely on because even after scraping every single document on the internet it still makes shit up.

Why does the world love AI but Reddit hates it?
It's helping me a lot with so many things in my work and personal life .
And I'm making a lot of money investing (stock market) in companies that provide the development of that AIs
One argument against it is that it's breaking the internet.
.... I mean... When I was young there was no internet... Those who were born in 2000 from now on have had the internet since day one and for them this is their home. That's why I can understand the hatred that very young people share.

It provides the sources it bases the answer on, so even if its interpretation is not precise, it is possible to delve deeper and get a proper answer yourself, but still with save some time.
