What are good examples of concrete acts of resistance against "AI"? I am putting together an overview and am surely missing great stuff!

I have:
Data centre opposition (thx to @gerrymcgovern )
Examples of sabotage from @asrg
Some ideas about practical refusal from @danmcquillan

Also everyday acts are great (such as not following orders to use "AI") if they are documented somewhere, somehow. Most references tend to be rather vague (e.g. in this otherwise great article
https://restofworld.org/2026/techno-negative-thomas-dekeyser-fighting-ai/)

Why refusing AI is a fight for the soul

Author Thomas Dekeyser explains why modern resistance to Big Tech is a deeply sane response to a narrow vision of humanity.

Refusal.

For example, people have sent me documents with the comment "hey please look over this text for this work thing we're doing together. The first attachment is my draft, the second is what chatgpt did with it".
I flat out email back "thanks for your draft, here are my comments. I refuse to read the other one."

(Probably easier for me than others; I'm a freelance traditional artist – people expect me to be weird anyway.)
