Welcome to c/WouldYouRather, where we present you with the toughest, most ridiculous choices you never knew you had to make! Would you rather have a third arm that's only useful for picking your nose, or be able to talk to animals but only if they're wearing hats? Yeah, it's that kind of vibe. Come for the absurdity, stay because you've clearly got nothing better to do with your life.

Definitely without ads, as they are not only annoying, but also contain tracking, are potentially malicious and steal my time.

AI has its uses, AI slop is a menace though.

I agree, especially since AI slop is mostly driven by people who wanna get clicks and make money from ads. If you kill ads, you also kill AI abuse to a degree.

What about all the ai propaganda?

What AI propaganda are you talking about exactly?

[–] treasure 1 points 2 weeks ago

AI propaganda is often sponsored by state level actors who used to spread their propaganda online "manually" before. So it's not like propaganda would go away if AI went away, it would just become more expensive again.
