looking for advice/suggestions:

anyone seen anything yet (uBlock ruleset, {tamper,grease}monkey scripts, etc) that can block the “talk to our prompt” widgets that have started showing up on too many fucking webpages? I’m getting sick of the things, and I haven’t really yet found an exhaustive list of this shit from which to build up a list

sorry, I can’t think of a way that wouldn’t require a lot of effort and vigilant maintenance to keep up. Truly a scourge.

oh yeah much like other filterlists I expect this would be a collaborative/community thing! at this stage I’m just trying to find out if there is any work towards it that anyone knows of (or whether that needs to be started)

Would they all resolve to a small set of GPT api providers? Or is that all abstracted away server-side?

the handful that I’ve looked into all operate on their own domains (even if their backing is likely chatgpt or whatever), but I’d guess pretty much a bunch of shapes and sizes

maybe we just need to block GTM and be done with it. 99% of these would be plugged in by a suit along with all the other tracking shit
