It’s getting to the point where EVERYTHING has freaking AI slop in it and the only solution is to manually build an entire OS from scratch (LFS) and disabling any damned AI slop any package has, while putting it all on a pre-AI era computer because I’m sure the HW and BIOS in every computer will have damned AI soon enough.
To hell with AI slop and to hell with anyone supporting that copyright-infringing, inaccurate, brain-dead, environmentally unfriendly pile of crap technology.
This isn’t really GenAI, so I don’t really have a problem with it much like how I don’t have a problem with AI upscaling, for instance. It also can run locally.
I mostly agree with you. However, I think there are some caveats to upscaling; there are so many lazy “4K AI UPSCALE BEST QUALITY” videos online that just don’t look good and were clearly put there just to get views.
However, I’ve also found they have their uses; for instance, I wanted to laser cut a TMBG Flood logo once, but there were very few good images online that traced well in Inkscape. I ended up doing an AI upscale of the least terrible one with a white background, and that traced pretty well in Inkscape.

I mean, here it is used optionally to help with accessibility. That is objectively a good use of AI.
Also it’s running locally. I think the biggest problem with AI is the data harvesting and this is just not that
