Yeah,
So the first time I logged onto the 'public' internet (outside of ARPANET) I was sometimes in the early 1980's. There was no HTTP protocol and we simply logged into 'Bulletin boards[^]' via RelayNet and FidoNet.
There is nothing new under the sun[^] and I can tell you that the first time I logged into a BBS system I was immediately inundated with sexual content and in the early 1980's I didn't know how to respond to this so I immediately logged out. There are some moments in life that you never forget, this was one of them.
I'm drinking red wine again, like I did last weekend so please excuse the typos.
*edit* :
I was thinking about this over another glass of wine and I want to share as little bit more for those who might be interested in the very early internet. In the 1980's it was much more difficult to share pictures (before the Gopher protocol[^]) and there were absolutely zero videos. So the sexual content on the bulletin board systems back in the 1980's were individuals telling stories in text chat.
Yep, now maybe you can see why I logged out. 
There were 'normal' chat rooms but they were quite boring before HTTP.

It's too bad it never took off.
Whatever happened to that thing?

I still think these kids and their "industrial revolution" is a load of crap. It just sounds like a way for the serfs to get out of performing their just labors, after I paid good money for those indentures.

When people call their pets "fur baby" it's "adorable" but when I call kids "skin dogs" I'm "disgusting" and "the worst pediatrician in this hospital"

"Ankle biting disease factories" doesn't seem to go down well either.
Strangely nor does "did you keep the receipt?" when shown the pictures ...

Still time to program an AI to answer questions in your particular style. Though the questions may be more like "how I can I boil potatoes over a fire?", the answer for which will have to include how to find the flint to start the fire.
