It’s right I don’t want AI in my email client. Gmail now summarises threads, but I didn’t ask for that, and I have no reason to trust it any more than the frequently bullshit AI search results.

It still astounds me that the dominant search company, where people go as a first port of call when looking for information, is willing to put generated answers at the top of its results which are variously sorta-right, subtly wrong or outright fabricated.

Meta has started offering artists I know AI versions of their own work on Facebook. There’s no obvious way to turn it off and … frankly it’s pretty insulting.

So yes, there is a no-AI audience. At the very least a let-me-turn-it-off audience. And not just in tech.
