How?

Firstly AI is built from copyright theft, FOSS is generally very avoidant of copyright theft, the idea is generally to allow people to decide what something they created is used for.

Secondly, the end goal for AI companies is to sit between you and everything you need to do, like uber do with taxis or door dash with deliveries, but for every single interaction you have with the outside world. The subscription fee and user penetration these companies are aiming for, it's genuinely horrifying. We should not be indirectly supporting a world where you pay openAI $2000+ a month to live in a frictionless AI vacuum.

To be honest, I would steal as much back from AI as possible since it is based on theft. Some people don't use Meta's open-source because Meta bad. Meta is bad. But I get at least partial payment back by using their usable open-source software where possible, if it works. And I can still try my best to block their ads and avoid leaking data.

This is rationalization.
