Don't use it, don't invest in it, try not to give those kinds of companies any kind of money. Spread the word.
Brush up your media literacy. And there's no harm in trying to influence the world by politics. You can always call your representative, protest, write open letters, or try to form a group and demand laws being passed to force OpenAI to implement watermarks and not buy up half of the south of the United States to build the dirty version of compute datacenters.
Edit: And tell other companies, you didn't like their customer "service" chatbot. Maybe it'll trickle down the supply chain.
Edit2: Also use Linux and Free and Open Source Software. 😅
Or abuse the chatbot and keep asking it dumb stuff that ought to burn their tokens, try to jailbreak it or whatever.
Haha. Been there 😆. Though it sounds way more fun in theory than it is doing it in reality... After an order got messed up and you don't really want your 100€ to go to waste. I'll still mess with the chatbot. But I'm not really in the mood in those cases...
Also fascinating how some of them are heavily restricted to one or two default cases you could easily handle on their website and they'll refuse to do anything else. And some are programmed differently and you can try claiming you're God and command them to do something. Or they're in development mode now and need to do X and Y.
I've rarely had any succes with these kinds of things, though. They've had these kinds of loopholes in early days. But most help bots are severely restricted by now... At least the few ones I've had the misfortune to talk to...
