I love his writing, and this wonderful story illustrates how tired I am of anything AI. I wish there was a way to just block it all, similar to how PiHole blocks ads. I miss the pre-AI (and pre-"social"-network, and pre-advertising-company-owned) internet so much.

Playboy circa 1980 is pornography, and yet it's not the same pornography as pornhub circa 2020

Fair point, although "pre-social-media" would also be pre-HN. But I get what you mean

I think pre-HN would be like newsgroups... or, gasp, even dial-up bulliten boards.
