You can have your Google search go before 2022. I do this sometimes
Google still does its psychotic summarys though.
Then other day I was trying to find out how to get just one AD account not to sync through to Azure without disabling it. And the AI came up with this complicated instruction set that didn't work and was totally made up from nowhere. Now what on earth was the point in doing that?
At one point it told me I had to triple click on something. Because that's totally a thing.
You might try setting Google's Web subsearch as your main search engine, or else put your searches through https://udm14.com/, which does the same thing.

I have noticed that I don't click on their videos as fast. Used to be that as soon as you see a video in the feed it was an instant click.
Yeah, me too. This was instant click though.

And of course, the video was preempted by an AI slop ad of a talking monkey wearing a neck brace.
Use Firefox + uBlock Origin on desktop and on mobile. Only watch YouTube via Firefox. Never see these bullshit ads again.
Currently adblocking is winning the war of the technical evolution of control vs. resistance.
Shoutout to Revanced patcher if you'd like an app equivalent with the same level of customization

I watched this with my son last night. Quite enjoyed it. I find the cadences of the narrator's voice oddly soothing, although ironically it sounds very like an AI voice.

I feel like the title doesn't match the content.
The video gives an elaborate description on their evaluation of "AI" and it's influence on the Internet at large. And then they conclude with "we'll continue like before" directly contradicting the title.
Feels disingenuous. And ironic after they talked about their extensive investments into fact checking.
DeArrow shows the title as something like "why you can't trust AI with facts"
I love DeArrow so much. Best addon I've ever donated to, very worth it
Do you think if we pool every AI in the world it will be able to figure out the difference between its and it's? Seems unlikely.

Some of their videos are pretty good, but taking funding from billionaires is never a good look.
