AI Making Canva Hard to Use

Anyone else struggling with Canva AI ruining their workflow? I don't make crazy things in Canva. I use it to create ads (images with text and some elements) and infographics. I don't make videos either, they're all just standard png's and pdf's at the end. Even though I use Canva to make basic things, the process is becoming so much harder and more time consuming as Canva integrates AI more and more into their system. It used to be so easy to find images and elements and now I find myself scrolling for hours just to find something that isn't AI and is actually what I'm searching for.
I sometimes use their tools to create custom gradients or to further edit text and make it more fun, but those have become incredibly obnoxious to use as it feels like they're trying to force me to use AI.
Everything that I use Canva for was so much easier and better just a couple of years ago and now I'm genuinely contemplating switching to something else. The only thing stopping me is how cheap my subscription is. I only pay like $18 CAD per month and don't really want to increase that or have to pay a yearly fee to get a similar rate.
So I guess I'm also wondering if anyone has found any hacks that help them continue to use Canva even with all the AI features and integration littering the site?
