Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.

Just because some companies are abusive doesn't mean you have to be too. Let's try, at best, to respect the fundamentals.
Ya fair enough, if it can be avoided by one person then sure why not, it’s kinda like climate change though, one person isn’t really doing anything when it comes to a global scale, it’s corporations and large industry that are the problems, same with AI anything corporate or government controlled, well once again it doesn’t matter they won’t respect that
I’m a realist me posting this comment and basically anything I do on the internet, I see it as, it’s out there I can’t expect it to stay private, it sucks but that’s how it is
yeah, though a better analogy would maybe be it's all the people of the world working together to progress society so that we have the tools required to allow everyone to live fulfilling and comfortable lives but certain people in comfortable positions don't care about the billions of people in poverty who would hugely benefit from access to advanced AI able to give medical advice, education, and lifestyle benefits so they obstinately try and stand in the way of progress refusing to help and selfishly guarding their worthless 'intellectual property' out of a weird sense of self-importance and greed.
The in long run they'll make no difference but it's still distressing that they would act like this.
