  • AIs exist since the first Chesscomputer, not a fake, it’s only an algorrithm (if - than), nothing to do with intelligence. Other thing are LLMs which are dangerous because biased by large corporations (and govs) in own benefit, certainly capable to cause hacks and damages with a lot of robbed information behind which need to be controlled before it’s late.








  • There are still good education and scientific channels in YT, but they are currently a minority between a ton of BS, conspiranoic influences and AI crap. Even the AI algorrithm blocked music channels from own authors and artists, due “copyright issues”. YT is dying with this and more and more people go to Odysee to monetize their vids, without these crap and problems.



  • You can essential use most intern webpage searches as search engine (Wikipedia, Forums, Tech pages, Newspaper, etc.), so you can find always what you need, general or specific information.

    To insert a page search in your search engine list, mostly it’s enough to search something in this page, after this editing the URL in the adressbar substituing the search concept with %s (eg. https ://lemmy.ml/search?q=%s) and copy than the URL in your search engine list. In Vivaldi it works also with the right click on the search bar and select “add as search engine” from the context menu.

    In the Vivaldi forum there is a threat with the IMHO most extensive list of search engines with corresponding insert codes.

  • Well, AI gan be a helpfull tool for some tasks in investigations in thousends of documents, astronomy, medicine, physics, etc. but certainly not for substituting the own intelligence, research, creativity or to create cat videos. You never can use AI in your research as is, without additional contrast the corresponding sources, it’s not a toy for everyone, even if big corps include it recently almost everywhere, not to help you, but to spy on you and to train their own AIs with your inputs and data. You don’t really need AI, the internet since decades works well without, even if you already have to research consulting several sources in your traditional web search, to learn to handle Photoshop or better, Gimp, Blender, Krita to create images, even if it cost somewhat more effort as writing a prompt, if you are online for some years it’s also not so complicated to learn a second or third lenguage, even if it is only enough to communicate with others (Spanish, German and English (?) in my case) without the need of an translation tool (Deepl is proprietary and limited in the free version, Google, Bing are a no-go and OpenSource translations are crappy by default). It’s always easy to avoid AI>a little effort and some common sense. There are things we need and things which are an artificial created need for the user, AI is the last one.
