Look, I don't like AI, I refuse to use it or support it as a dev, but the way to avoid it completely taking over is for workers to fight back both inside and outside of their companies and institutions, us refusing to use it doesn't change a thing, if you don't use it for moral reasons it's like being a vegan for moral reasons, it's good, but it has no real effect on the system at large because of corporate interests.

Except your attitude is exactly what enables corporate interests to keep pushing it. If everyone refuses to accept it, corporations will have to cave. Problem is too many people begrudgingly accept AI saying it's unavoidable.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying the opposite. FIGHT. COLLECTIVELY.

You literally said "us refusing to use it changes nothing". That's begrudging acceptance

I understand how you can interpret my comment that way, but focus on this part, please:
