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.

I have nothing against networks that are actually social. I hate the ones that are only social in name, but are actually just a way to serve ads to people, and are filled with low quality (often AI generated) content. That's why I put quotation marks around social. Maybe I should have said "so-called-social-networks", but I thought it was commonly understood.
