    I can’t wait until Windows 12, the AI-first operating system, comes out. People will ask Copilot to open the system settings and it’ll be like “That’s a great place to start! You can open the system settings by asking Windows Copilot to open the system settings!”

      Windows 13 is going to have first completely uncooperative AI. You ask him to open system setting and it says “the fuck’s good for me, eh?”. You tell him to download Winamp and it tells you “what the fuck is that shit? it does even collect your data! fuck you, i’m not dowloading that, the gall!” or you tell him to turn itself off and it tells you “nah, i’m good” or if you ask to switch to manual it tells you “get fucked, you ain’t getting that”.

    Thanks for sharing. I use a metasearch engine so I don’t have to see it. Unfortunately that doesn’t make a big difference in the broader picture. For most users this is the default experience. Slop at the top, then advertisements and only then what a search engine is supposed to return. And those burnt CPU cycles will be forced upon them. And I guess that’s pretty much normalized by now. Probably also the reason why Google does it in the first place.

      Can you create a short guide that I can share with non-tech people for the metasearch engines you recommend?

        Uh sorry, I don’t have a good recommendation. I myself use a self-hosted instance of SearXNG but that’s a bit much for the non-tech people and it doesn’t work that well due to all the rate-limiting of Google etc so it’ll intermittently stop working and I just can’t recommend it. I know lots of people use Duckduckgo, Startpage or Ecosia. But I’m not an expert on them, if they provide privacy or whether they care for the environment or do green washing. So I’m afraid I can’t make a good statement here.

    This is why it’s absolutely ridiculous that Google automatically has AI answer search queries. One time I searched the serial number of a washing machine and the AI came back and said something along the lines of, this looks like a serial number for some sort of product. Yeah thanks for that.

    I don’t necessarily have a problem with AI although I think it’s going to kill the economy, my biggest issue is AI being stuffed into everything in situations where it doesn’t make sense.
