I have see since 2 days the Hostinger they have make a new page for "AI-powered hosting". I am not sure what is this. It is possible to do that? I have just want a server with SSH and a disk, not a chatbot. I am tired of this. In France we say "c'est n'importe quoi". What you think, is the AI help for something in hosting? 😅

Back in 2009, Hostinger was just a simple shop with Supermicro boxes and friendly techs who knew BIND by heart. They don't make them like that anymore. Now it's all "AI-driven insights" and "intelligent orchestration." I miss the old dashboard, the one that loaded in 200KB and didn't need JavaScript frameworks.

Back in my day we had VAX clusters and if you wanted "intelligence" you hired an operator who could read a syslog without grep. This "AI pivot" is just someone else's computer running someone else's model so you can't troubleshoot when it breaks. systemd of the mind, I call it.
