You’re not doing work for free. That’s a really weird way to look at it. You’re doing it to gain access to a service, an entirely optional one. It’s somewhat believable when people say oh, yes I have a car but I have to have a car, I’d like not to. But nobody is required to use GMail to live.
And yes, feel free to be an AI pessimist. You could quite well be right. It seems bizarre to me however to make an effort to sabotage this one specific AI training (which might stop cars from running us down) so that you can log into something which will also be used to train AI (to sell you shit). And then posting your opinion about it here, where it will be used to train an AI.
I feel like you think you just came up with something truly groundbreaking, “You criticize society yet you live in society. Curious.” You have to believe me when I say you haven’t.
… I don’t see how you can genuinely have understood that to be a point I was making. That’s the opposite of what I was saying. I even gave an example of how you might be forced to drive a car. Because you are in fact forced to live in society. But you are here on Lemmy so you must understand that you are not forced to use Gmail? So either you’re being disingenuous or you’re not actually reading all of what I’m posting. Given how you completely ignored the majority of my other post and went straight to “oH sO iF wE dO iT fOr 20 yEaRs”, I’m going with the latter.
