Plenty of paywalled sites have workarounds (Bypass Paywall Clean extension basically does that for you)

I always use Read Mode when any paywall comes up. For 90% of tries, i can read the whole article.

I’m officially sick of this so-called AI. There’s nothing intelligent about it, it’s simply functionality modifying programs spewing recursive bullshit written by other AIs (or possibly by itself) that were all trained on stolen human work once upon a time, but are now just gibberish.
