Geek tip from the Tuta Team: How NOT to see AI images.
Use this HUGE AI BLOCKLIST for uBlock Origin: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
Enjoy your holidays. 🎉
A huge blocklist of manually curated sites that contain AI generated imagery for uBlock Origin & uBlacklist. - laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist
@alatartheblue They don't seem to understand simple concepts like PII (they have stated before that email addresses aren't PII) or business finance (they just didn't bother to collect sales tax early on). They also don't seem to listen to the community very much.
I thought this was a pretty good read on the topic: https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html
Hmm. An interesting read. Not sure how much I agree / disagree, but good to have the perspective.
FWIW, I've heard that kagi was an AI company from the very beginning. I can't elaborate past that, though. (I guess that was enough for me to not be terribly interested)
@Tutanota Yes that list is great! ❤️
If anyone needs help on how to install it, here is a step by step guide:

This is a somewhat (or even mostly) useless list. It just filters AI "features" and websites from search engine results. It does nothing for the sites you use every day, like social media and news, that are littered with AI content.
If you use the same search engine, and you generally don't visit random sites on a regular basis, especially obvious AI ones, then this list will do pretty much nothing for your browsing experience.
Also, I see that it has a specific user/artwork on Artstation. This is good. However, what if the list blocks someone you follow who posts 99% human content and occasionally posts some "AI-assisted" content?
Something to think about.
These lists are convenient, but it is convenience that got us to (the bad place) where we are today.
@Tutanota Thanks!
As to those complaining about AI in their social media, stop following people that use it!
That's not how mainstream social media works. In order to not see either rampant or occasional AI on mainstream social media, the only thing you can do is not use mainstream social media at all.
Instagram infects your "Following" feed with ads and recommendations. Twitter doesn't do this, but if you use lists, you will see them, and the moment you click Explore/For You, you are likely to see them.
Also, the non-artists you follow may post/repost them too.
