When I was growing up, things were progressing very rapidly. I went from MSDOS to iPhone by the time I was an adult. Rapid progress isn't necessarily bad. It's just that when you get older, things slow down/speed up in the wrong ways, and it feels like any change is too much. The problem with the ai stuff is that it reveals something unsettling about our world that you wouldn't see unless you knew what to look for. Things just don't really add up. It's much more obvious with ai, because it is slightly off-key based on our understanding of reality. If you take a step back, and question reality as it is, you would see that things aren't exactly universally true. Alot of reality is totally arbitrary. The sum is supposed to be greater than the parts, or in other words, 2 + 2 = 5. We only learn as we get older that 2 + 2 = 4, and that everything makes perfect sense and is logically explainable. The problem with that is that it just isn't true, and that's why they have phrases like, "it's not an exact science", etc. Basically, ai makes it easy to recognize absurdity, but it reveals that the world itself is full of absurdity that we accept as fact.

I'm a computational mathematics major, too much is getting too complex and not in the good straight forward way but instead in the convoluted scammy way

I want the early internet style back, it all feels so stresmlined with corperations at every turn shoving endless adds down my throat and I miss the customizable personlity the internet had. When everyone could have their own nice little web page and be wacky plus I miss those old low poly gif and clip art. It felt alive.

Search engines are too weak as tools with too many possible answers to pull from

AI and the internet make a lot of cool and interesting tools available. I enjoy seeing the great things people contribute to any platform; although, I do get annoyed when certain features are exploited and abused.

There's so much online and being able to access it without a restriction - although very helpful - it is also extremely toxic because of it.

For me, yes. Everything now is just so different than even 5 years ago. It feels like we've gone too fast and that everything is just being thrown all together all at once and it's overwhelming. The internet landscape has changed so drastically due to the pandemic that it's unrecognizable from what it was before that. Also with AI, it's starting to take over literally everything, and not in the good way. It's well known that AI is stealing from artists in AI art generators and people are already claiming the finished product as theirs despite it being just frankenstined from different pieces of art on the internet. And also not to mention deep faking AI technology causing problems for famous people. It feels like ai has appeared so fast that people don't know what to do and how to control it/regulate it.

Ai tools arent the problem for me, its just that i like having physical mail when it comes to bills and tax information, wich i can stack on a corner till i have time to process them, but with different digital mail the notifications gets lost.

I find the opposite-- instead of being able too look things up like I used to I have to specify the site in Google or use chatgpt to avoid all the spam article sites.
