UBlockOrigin and UBlacklist AI Blocklist

A fan-made mega “AI blocklist” is blowing up: over 1,000 sites manually flagged to keep AI-made images and pages out of Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo via uBlock Origin or uBlacklist. The vibes? Pure internet soap opera. Some users yell “finally, clean search!” while others say the list is weirdly personal, blocking random Instagram, X, and Pinterest profiles—and even a single Amazon coloring book. One commenter called it “pet project energy,” another warned the whole thing feels like a cultural purge. Meanwhile, the devs promise one-click installs, daily updates, and mobile support—because of course this drama goes cross-platform.

The thread got spicy fast. Skeptics slam the list as far too broad, noting it tries to swat every AI gnat in sight. Another camp argues the backlash proves AI’s power—if people care enough to block it, it must be winning. Nostalgia memes popped up: “First they laugh at you…” and jokes about indie devs now adding “No AI used” stickers like it’s gluten-free. There’s even a previous thread, because this fight is a sequel. Whether you love or loathe it, this DIY filter is either a heroic clean-up crew—or a blunt instrument swinging at the whole internet.
