Can I avoid apt?

I see that apt-get has been replaced by apt, sort of.

I don't like apt.  I'm in the habit of doing my updates under the script(1)
command and that banner that apt puts at the bottom of the screen makes the
files unreadable.

Is there a way to disable it?  Possibly by lying to apt about my terminal's
capabilities?
