If a service is free, you are the product. When you use an AI chatbot, you are training their model for free. They are very happy to take your inputs and attention as well as show you ads. They would also be happy that you're teaching others to do this as well. This is all inconsistent with a "Fuck AI" stance. Something to consider.
Unfortunately, "you are the product" is not as effective as a scare tactic as it used to be before advertisements became ubiquitous, but I see your point. This is something that is always worth considering.
I do want to correct a misconception that AI is showing you ads, because there are no advertisements on Claude. Or, at least, I don't see any. I use UBlock Origin on Firefox as an adblocker, and it blocks everything from sidebar ads on my favorite webcomics to YouTube video ads, so I can't say for sure if it's just been blocking ads on Claude for me and I just haven't noticed. Either way, whether it's intentional or not, I'm not being advertised to.
Ultimately, I am already training an AI model by using the internet. AI models have been shown to train from sources like reddit, tumblr blogs like this one, social media, wikipedia, and forums too. When I am utilizing an AI, I am consenting to allowing it to train off my writing, because I get writing in return.
But that's true of any person I'd be writing with too. Roleplay is a give-and-take relationship. With an AI writing partner, I have much more control of what that relationship looks like than I do on a forum, where there are dozens of outside factors that influence what happens between two characters in a thread.
