Quoting: sarmadWhile I agree there is a lot of immorality in AI, avoiding it just puts you at a disadvantage since everyone is using it. So, you'll be harming yourself, not the unethical AI companies. The solution to the ethical dilemma should come from politicians, but they are unfortunately too corrupt to do the right thing.

AI companies are currently operating by dotcom logic.
The more users you've, the more you'll be able to lock in in the future and thus the more valuable your shares.
Boycotts do work to influence that metric.

This same logic also applies to this "disadvantage". The goal is vendor lockin they will try to get you to rely on their products to the level that you can't ditch them and they've many great minds working on that goal.
You'll pay a hefty sum when the time of income finally arrives.
Right now you're at a disadvantage if you use AI, because they're buying your dependence with low prices.

This also, why deepseek was such a shock.
It used a(known, but for good reasons avoided) cheaper method for training to achieve equal results and marketed it.
It presented the threat that someone without trillions in capital could compete with their champions.
