I'm with you. I started moving away from Google a few years ago. That's what I mean I guess -- when something becomes so full of it, what can you do but turn it off? It's Google's own conceit that without it we'd be in the dark, Facebook's that without them we are lonely and alienated, missing out, etc. In actuality they are entirely dependent on you and are terrified you'll look away. They are enormous media companies and nothing more. Again, it's good that you call bullshit on it. Things are not as set in stone as they appear -- the tech is finicky and expensive, and we still have the wealth of "legacy knowledge" online and offline. There is enormous investment being made in this sector currently. Remember the huge amount of bullshit that was spread all over during the height of the cryptocurrency craze, uberization, social media, war on terror, etc. As I said, "AI" is a new part of the complex. Turning these things off is a way to stay sane, no more or less.
