People respond to peer pressure. Try to thread the needle of telling your peers you don't use AI without making them feel defensive. (If you make the average someone feel bad about themselves, their thinking shuts down.)

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. 😅

Not much, it's a fad scam hyped up by most of the concentrated capital power in the world, and the 99.9whatever% people without the tech background in this see the bullshitting as "convincingly human". They're primed to take most or all criticism as you being a Luddite, which means they don't have to listen to you - hallucination, bias, titanic wastes of water/power/hardware are all excellent points among many, just... not ones that anybody's ever gonna listen to. Every hype cycle you get this to one degree or another.

About the only thing you can do is presumably what you're already doing: avoid it as best you can personally. Try to keep a lease on the ol' sanity, it does seem like part of the worst hype might be calming down a bit.
