Tl;dw: Yes, but much like the idea of individual carbon footprints, putting the blame on individuals also directs away the the actions of those who invest in, direct, and (don’t) regulate AI companies. Individuals will have little-to-no impact unless there is collective action to regulate AI companies and hold them accountable for their destruction.

Except it isn’t because the point of the video is in large part, that individual users have little influence over the AI companies. AI companies, as well as their investors and those meant to regulate them (not that those are separate groups) don’t particularly care about the miniscule current revenue to be made. They’re collectively gambling rule of law, money, the environment, ect. on the idea that they will make huge amounts of money when AI becomes a true general-purpose artificial intelligence. The way to fix this isn’t to not use AI (not that it doesn’t help), its to collectively stand against them and actually hold them accountable for their destruction.
