One Thing to note: if you're strictly against it then you are on fact an AI vegan.
And that's okay!
Just like veganism you need to be clear though to us to help you answer that question:
- what IS your reason? "At all" as absolute is not objectively feasible for all situations no matter your logic (stealing --> use an open model like apertus; energy --> link it to your solar panels, unreliable --> wrong use case, etc etc)
- why do you want to convince others?
The issue is: you need to be honest to yourself AND to us to have a proper exchange.
"It doesn't feel right and I want to limit it's spread" is a way better answer then some stuff that sounds right but that are not grounded in your personal reality.
For 2. would it then be a approach for you to focus on exactly your own complaint?
"Be careful when you use gen AI, it's sold to you as solution but you'll have more work figuring out why it doesn't understand you then it would be just doing it on your own".
Perhaps I'm not yet understanding what you mean with "contribute to" or the implications though.
