The article 'How to Opt Out of A.I. Online' by Kyle Chayka discusses the impracticality of opting out of AI use on Meta platforms by posting a text block on Instagram. Users in the US can set accounts to private to prevent AI from scraping their data, a workaround not required in the EU/UK due to stronger laws. The piece explores how AI is increasingly present in technology, like Google searches and iPhone features, and how tech companies gain from AI-generated content. Finally, Chayka emphasizes the difficulty of avoiding AI-generated 'slop' on the internet.
