"Cannot criticise capitalism while existing in capitalism", "Should not criticise the British colonisation, because they built some trains in colonised India. Indians who used it cannot criticise the colonisation" logic?

I do not subscribe to that logic.

GenAI is built by capitalists, but the data n info is mostly not theirs. Ending up reliant on their tool would be the bad thing.

And tactical boycotts can be good, lime how we Indians had a period where we boycotted British products. But it had an aim. Is there a current formal aim?

    Not what they're saying. Critiquing your specific use of a specific tool is not the same as critiquing participation in capitalist society or consumption of capitalist goods.

    Seeing as how the comment we're both referring to is still there for you to read and it mentions the use of AI to generate an image macro, and not any travel for any purpose on board a train in India, I'm going to give you just one guess as to what tool you think Im referring to.
