So are iPhones, this is just a retread of the "you critique capitalism but use an iPhone, curious" conservative joke.

"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?

A big share of AI is made in china under the five-year plan, which makes it a product of the communists.
