And I personally don't use gmail, block all ads on YT, etc. I avoid all these when practical and possible, rather than throwing my arms up in the air. Doesn't mean I never use their services, but I do my best not to.

If the cost of AI is higher than its benefits, then let's not use it. From any company.
