I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Victor Nehlig, 1881. “The Fishermen Battle with the Giant Squid” #illustration #1880s #VictorNehlig #GiantSquid
