As an idiot, I am too!

Also, in my experience people who dislike AI features are often more tech-savvy in my experience. And tech-savvy people tend to know “hidden” subdomains such as “noai.” and how to change the default engine’s URL string whereas non-savvy tend to not know that.

So even if the majority would be against these AI features it might make more sense to make AI the default and noai opt-in. Because you’d lose more non-savvy people having no-AI as default than you lose tech-savvy people with having AI as default (I assume).

I don’t understand either. What benefit do they have from blocking it (or what disadvantage do they have from not blocking)? There has to be some reason, no?

Just the other day I was pissed off. My dad missed some deadline to request money from the government. I told him to call them, they might be able to do something anyways. He was like “nah, they’ll never do that, why would they have a deadline if they do it after the deadline yadayada”
Then a few days later he told me “oh that gpt thing told me to just try, I might be lucky and they pay out even after the deadline, he was very reassuring, so I’ll try calling them!”

Man chatgpt would fucking tell you to try your luck if you’re 12 years over the deadline, but god forbid your son tells you the exact same thing and you even consider calling them lol

or making it so you have to be a paid Reddit subscriber to have expanded API access.

Isn’t that what they’re doing? I’ve used Relay Pro via API until recently by paying for it.

The only reason I don’t use that anymore is cause I went de-googled, so no play store subscription and thus no API access anymore, and since I can’t stand the original app I came here.

That sounds tempting, but still won’t make me rejoin reddit.
