Fucking Tired of AI

Title. I really wish we could turn back time to 2022 when ChatGPT and GitHub copilot were being dropped and stopped the bomb then. Everywhere I go online now is populated by a mass infestation of AI trash of variying degree; can we or will we ever get back our fun tech discussion online without bullshit ads or bots or any of this novo-dystopian nonsense? I am specially worried about new programers and internet users being bombarded with tons of AI-written books, pornography, music, video, audio, images. And if you think it isn't bad, try googling any historical figure and you'll find some bullshit AI generated image of them likely before the actual one. What do we do? Do we just create new social media platforms and blogs (IRC again?) that are so heavily filtered / censored such that no AI content is ever tolerated? Do we do the Sam Altman thing and try scanning a billion eyeballs as 'proof of human'? I used to be an AI optimist but this is just ridiculous. How do you all cope?
