"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Getting e-mail hosting complete with your own domain name on one of many, many companies available worldwide which sell that (just search for "e-mail hosting") does not require tech knowledge to the level of "wizardry".
They even have interfaces similar to Google.
However those things are paid, and they're definitely not as accessible to non-techies since for example your smartphone won't just pop-up an "add account with X e-mail hosting" during initial config.
Absolutely, those things aren't "so stupidly simple that even my dog can use it", but then again I'm making my point in Lemmy to a crowd which is well above average tech aware, not to my nana on Facebook.
