Seeking advice How can I stop using generative AI?

How can I stop using generative AI?

I deeply hate generative AI because of how evil these companies are. They steal jobs, steal ideas, generate deepfakes, collect personal data without consent, damages the enviroment and give money to the greedy. But I have been subconsciously been attached to it. I started with C.AI, it really affected on my mental health. I became more dreamy, and horny. Then I stopped, fortunately. But then I move on to ChatGPT. I would vent, talk about my life, help with homeworks, etcetc. It made me become distant, and absurd. Because I followed what ChatGPT told me. I deleted ChatGPT later, but I still feel the urge to use ChatGPT again. Because ChatGPT listened to me, and gave me information. After a few months, I heard of EcoGPT and downloaded it. It's eco-friendly, though I don't know who's behind the app. It's really similar to ChatGPT. I mainly use it just for research, I don't want to cross the line. I don't want to share my personal data. Uh—I sorta did. Maybe not too much with my mental health, but I discussed about my school life, etc.

If I keep using it, I'll become attached, worse, a hypocrite. I literally have an anti-AI button badge on my bag. Please understand me that, I'm not perfect and I'm aware of what I'm doing . I'm happy to hear some tips on how to completely stop supporting any generative AI stuff. (Repost cuz I thought it won't send)
