Im not sure if afraid is the right word compared to morally opposed to the big tech generative ai hype. Using it for money won’t resolve that. Instead it would go against my own personal values with how I want to live my life.

Part of me wants to make the comparison that what you’re suggesting is like telling someone who is afraid and opposed to gun violence, or war and the military and to just join the military. Or accept the status quo of violent authoritarianism. It may provide me stability to accept our states oppressive regime, but it’s definitely not me living with integrity nor bringing me any kind of happiness.
