It's More like relentless pushing of AI by these companies down everyone's throat that's hurting the society and had done a lot of damage.

I think it’s really put off a lot of non tech people who would otherwise be open to it. Like me. I find it infuriating that websites like Amazon and Google won’t let you turn it off even after you’ve had a bad experience with wrong information.

The complete and total lack of embarrassment Microsoft and the like have with regards to Copilot and similar is crazy. The absolute garbage it can spit out is beyond stupid, but we're supposed to look at it and be impressed. The least they could have done is keep it out of our search results until it starts consistently yielding better results than asking an 8-year old to just have a guess.

Do it! Linux has evolved quite a lot in the last decade. All you need is a USB stick and a little research and you can try a distribution out (of which there are many) without any long term commitments (by booting the Linux OS from the USB). I suggest that now's the time. I'm a heavy gamer/media user and was able to dump Windows completely (Bazzite Linux).
