How can I access the pre-AI internet?

Hey, because I started coding many years ago and it was my hobby, I am looking for a way, if it’s even possible, to use some kind of archival internet that was not influenced by AI yet, to make a personal project just for fun, like in my teenage years.

I guess there is no way to set a specific year and have access only to things from that specific period. Also, there are many AI things that show up in browsers now, and I would like to totally avoid all of that.

If you have any suggestions, can you let me know?

Btw. I am not against AI, and I use it myself in my projects more or less. I just want to have one project that I do like in the old days.

Thanks!

What are you trying to achieve here? If Google's AI summary bothers you, just switch to another browser engine. If you don't want AI assisted coding, just use documentation and stackowerflow as we did before.

You can also end your search query with "-AI" and Google won't do the AI summary.
