removing social media and focusing on the good parts of the internet is the best approach (and was even before AI trend)

you don't need social media, everybody as excuses as to why they're there, but none of them are real

self hosting saved most of the internet for me, from jellyfin for movies TV shows and movies to piped for YouTube

Degoogling and removing big tech from your life also helps a lot, changing from gmail to protonmail was a small change from the outside but it made how I interact with account creation and handling of my data so much more enjoyable

so I dont personally feel this way, but I dont engange with any part of the internet terrorized by AI (and human) slop
