I hope that anyone who thinks someone doing a search via an LLM poisons everything it touches transitively forever never looks up any information about any major operating system

I've seen people post things like "it's entirely possible to avoid using genAI entirely" and like
for intentional first party uses, sure
but if you're looking anything up online, you're gonna get some amount of genAI slop and you need to be prepared to accept that seeing genAI slop does not irreversibly taint you and everything you will ever make forever
If your argument against genAI is that the creation of it causes societal and ecological harm and the way you show that argument is to try to ostracize anyone who so much as types a search query into an LLM one time from all communities forever, then you should also be doing that to anyone who buys a Nestle product, owns a car, has a smartphone, uses commercial social media, or eats beef.
@ben What if the way I show that argument is to speak in favor of a total demolishment of capitalism everywhere?
And then ostracizing all the people who go "And yet you choose to live in a society"
I sure hope that kind of person doesn't use any major search engines either
or play games made on game engines
or use web browsers
