Everyone should be cutting Tesla, Google, Microsoft, apple, meta etc etc out of their lives as much as possible.

    I totally agree. While I do have a Google account, I haven't used it in many months, and my tablet and phones have never been signed in to begin with. I guess you might consider my mobile Android devices as 'virgin' devices, and I don't mean Virgin Mobile.

    I did break my hiatus from Google briefly tonight, just to ask Google Docs to write a document to compare and contrast AI slop versus reality..

    Anyways, I'm done with Google again for as long as I can avoid it. But I'm still leaving the account active, if for no other reason than my YouTube videos (not like I'm even making any money off my random stuff)..

    Have you tried libre office as an alternative to MS or Google. It’s pretty decent.

    Yes, I'm running Linux Mint on my laptop, which comes with LibreOffice. If I needed to write any serious documents of my own, I'd definitely do so using LibreOffice.

    I dunno, I just wanted to test the waters of AI on itself in a way to see what it would spit out. At least what it wrote carries a reminder to not outright trust AI and do your own research and fact checking.
