Then don't use the internet because everything has Ai. Google has it, every browser has it installed, almost every shopping site automatically uses Ai results, the news feed on Google is all Ai results, the questions that are the most asked on Google are now Ai driven.
Main point of environmental destruction is using the LLM's but nearly everything is using Ai and it's hard to outrun it and a lot of things are making it hard to opt out and I wouldn't put it past them to make it so they can make you pay to opt out of Ai in the future for a premium browser with the ability to disable Ai otherwise you're stuck with it kind of thing.
I hate what it's doing to the environment too but it's not going away unless everyone in neighboring communities decided to bulldoze them and use their wrecking balls to destroy them. Emps aren't hard to make happen.
If people wanted to destroy them they would. If people really didn't want them they'd destroy them.
Not Waterfox!
What bubble have you been living in? Almost none of my apps have any kind of AI... You can easily ditch it by using a Firefox fork, or any privacy Chromium fork, or even Chromium itself. Saying "Then don't use the internet" is somewhat of a defeatist sentence, just stick to good websites/programs and you're good.
I should've added a 🤪 to that because that was meant to be light not in a fuck off kind of way but more of a you gotta be kidding me this shit keeps expanding kind of way.
Oh
Use Firefox without AI and don't use google search engine
