Are people fed up of AI or the social media itself? (lemmy.world)

So I have been actively reducing my Internet usage mostly due to AI. So I was thinking of creating a curation of non AI content on the internet( as a project) but ngl avoiding the platforms makes me feel better😂.

So here was my question, are people on the internet fed up of AI or the social media itself? Would people actually want a curated feed of non AI content?

The reason why I am asking is, the algorithms. Like, creating a list of non AI art accounts on instagram might be something people want, but Instagram does recommend content that people aren't even following, which I think defeats the purpose of the list. Similarly youtube, though I think for YouTube it makes sense. Btw all this was personal talk, feel free to ignore it and answer the question.

I'm more tired of algorithms. For example, I like to scroll suggested videos on YouTube. I kept getting the same video suggestions and the same type of videos. Like I would get a ton of channels with Joe Rogan clips. You would have thought I was a mega fan but I rarely listen to Rogan. Anyway, when I got a new phone I was logged out of YouTube and my 'suggested video' feed instantly got much better. I have not logged into YouTube since.

I am also tired of AI though. AI feels like imposter syndrome and is being used by lazy people. For example, I made a website about something I knew nothing about but my website looked like I was ann expert. I used AI write my articles. All I had to do was make sure it sounded good and then post it. A lot of people were doing this now especially if they are trying to make money off affiliated marketing. Anytime you see something like "10 best [fill in the blank]", that was probably heavily influenced by AI and influenced from other trending articles.

i definitely agree regarding algorithm weariness but want to add that i've never had a joe rogan clip recommended to me once so it must be something you're watching.
