Yes, it is correct and important to stop using ChatGPT.

OpenAI is the largest funder of Donald Trump and they send everything you type into ChatGPT to the fascist US regime.

But reading this article, it's important to have in mind that Rutger Bregman is a bootlicker of Dario Amodei. It's plain that Bregman would have you use Anthropic's Claude instead of ChatGPT.

Both Anthropic and OpenAI are despicable companies and, as US companies, required by law to give all your chat logs to the US regime.

The correct decision would be to use *neither* ChatGPT nor Claude.

Is the growth of LLMs like the growth of plastic?

From Emily Bender here:

I’ve found myself frequently using the analogy of plastic: To try to live without using plastic now (at least in the US) is an extremely expensive endeavor, both in terms of money and and in terms of time. Plastic is so deeply integrated into so many of our systems that it is very difficult to avoid. But we are at a moment with “AI” where things aren’t so deeply integrated, though corporate interests are pushing for them to be. So I believe that every act of refusal is especially powerful and meaningful now, and we would do well to avail ourselves of that power as we can.
