Unfortunately, like Tesla, SpaceX, or any of the social media silos, AI isn't politically neutral or generic. Unless you're using a model you created and trained yourself entirely on data you own then you're at least indirectly supporting technofascism, mass surveillance (which particularly targets minorities,) mass psychological manipulation and propaganda, genocide and colonialism, environmental harm, deskilling and every other negative effect this technology has. It isn't possible to fight fascism without addressing the tools of fascism, and AI is a tool of fascism even if it's also useful.
No. Just choosing not to reorganize my entire life around LLMs and not to offload my creativity and thought to them is enough. I reject your premise that unless one fights every possible battle, one can't fight any battle.
But then I suspect you don't care one way or another what the effects of LLM usage are, you just don't want the pace of LLM acceleration interfered with. It's the same basic rationale that Americans have with guns, and they make the same bad faith arguments when gun control comes up.
I actually think ai and llm use benefit a small minority at the expense of the vast majority, and i like the tech but im not impressed with its applications. Agree you can fight whatever fight you like, but those problems you listed with fascism have been around well before llm's came along and fighting llm use wont solve problems with fascism it may just stall it a little. Its like youre focusing on the symptoms rather than the cause.
