Hello everyone, and how are you all today? I hope you guys are doing okay out there today. I’m hanging in here myself, which brings me to this blog post where I’m going to share some of the Alternatives to AI, i.e companies or products that use AI. For every reason is the only way to really limit yourself is by limiting your use of technology all the time. Our dependency on it is pretty bad. But if you can limit your usage, that can help out greatly. Or if you are trying to protest AI altogether. I will give a list of alternatives and/or ways to shut off AI if the product still has AI options.
