> when I want to find the thing, I don't want AI getting in the way.

This is the reverse of my desires. Most pages on the current web contain a few useful nuggets buried in a shit sandwich of overly verbose text and aggressive advertising. AI extraction and summarization distills the mess to concentrate the useful bits.

I want the small web back. I want more people to produce quality ad-free content for the love of doing so and the desire to make the world a better place. And then I want a classic search engine to find stuff; one that heavily downranks content with ads.

What wikis do you use?
