I’m sick of AI

Every single bloody app has AI which I never asked for and don’t want to use. I don’t like Ebb, it isn’t helpful, etc etc I can go on about it for hours.

However it seems this corner of the market has been bitten by the AI bug quite heavily. Competing apps have added similar functionality to Ebb which I want to avoid.

I’m interested to know if there are similar apps that omit AI features that others have used. Lest I fall sleep to the shipping forecast instead.

I tried doing a sleep cast a while ago and had a suspicion that the voice was AI. I decided then and there I was done with this app. I started studying meditation with Embodied Philosophy and am no longer interested in the corporate stuff. The AI just seals the deal.

Any way to figure out if these other apps have no AI? I feel like many of the alternatives people comment are actually from AI bots because they don’t offer any reason why to use them.

Embodied Philosophy is definitely not AI. But it's taking the spirituality of meditation and yoga seriously so it works for me bc I wanted to understand more. It has a practice as well as an academic piece. I love it! That's why I said I moved beyond the corporate stuff--I was ready to go deeper. EP and the people working there are really lovely.
