Are people fed up of AI or the social media itself? (lemmy.world)

So I have been actively reducing my Internet usage mostly due to AI. So I was thinking of creating a curation of non AI content on the internet( as a project) but ngl avoiding the platforms makes me feel better😂.

So here was my question, are people on the internet fed up of AI or the social media itself? Would people actually want a curated feed of non AI content?

The reason why I am asking is, the algorithms. Like, creating a list of non AI art accounts on instagram might be something people want, but Instagram does recommend content that people aren't even following, which I think defeats the purpose of the list. Similarly youtube, though I think for YouTube it makes sense. Btw all this was personal talk, feel free to ignore it and answer the question.

I'm of the opinion that both are true for different reasons.

First there is a certain fatigue with social media, I would say that social media per se are falling out of fashion (due to many reasons beyond the scope of this post). The social media is mainly failing because of bad Algorithmic feeds, but algorithmic feeds aren't AI. There's many things that many people are trying out as an alternative to social media; some to the point of ressurecting the Personal Websites and Link-Rings (as their methods to not participate in the "big tech sh*tshow").

Second there's a strong dislike for AI among many people and many CEO presenting it/ expection godlike results from it.

What I personally believe that many people mistake the correlations of theese two things as causation. Yes, they both suck, yes both is happening at the same time, but one has not caused the other.
