I’m tired of seeing soulless slop downgrade the human experience

Don’t use it, don’t invest in it, try not to give those kinds of companies any kind of money. Spread the word.
Brush up your media literacy. And there’s no harm in trying to influence the world by politics. You can always call your representative, protest, write open letters, or try to form a group and demand laws being passed to force OpenAI to implement watermarks and not buy up half of the south of the United States to build the dirty version of compute datacenters.
Edit: And tell other companies, you didn’t like their customer “service” chatbot. Maybe it’ll trickle down the supply chain.
Edit2: Also use Linux and Free and Open Source Software. 😅

Or abuse the chatbot and keep asking it dumb stuff that ought to burn their tokens, try to jailbreak it or whatever.
Haha. Been there 😆. Though it sounds way more fun in theory than it is doing it in reality… After an order got messed up and you don’t really want your 100€ to go to waste. I’ll still mess with the chatbot. But I’m not really in the mood in those cases…
Also fascinating how some of them are heavily restricted to one or two default cases you could easily handle on their website and they’ll refuse to do anything else. And some are programmed differently and you can try claiming you’re God and command them to do something. Or they’re in development mode now and need to do X and Y.
I’ve rarely had any succes with these kinds of things, though. They’ve had these kinds of loopholes in early days. But most help bots are severely restricted by now… At least the few ones I’ve had the misfortune to talk to…
People respond to peer pressure. Try to thread the needle of telling your peers you don’t use AI without making them feel defensive. (If you make the average someone feel bad about themselves, their thinking shuts down.)
For your specific question: generally downvoting the material soon as you notice it to discourage whatever algorithm is in play. If on YouTube, also remove the watch from your history and/or specify “don’t recommend channel” to go a step further
The biggest impact overall, however, will be to simply wait out until prob December this year:
Open AI and Anthropic both IPO before the end of November and I know you’re thinking “how generous, they must want all of us to make money!” but (and you won’t believe this) generally IPO just means the hype cycle is wearing down and it’s time to milk the WSB crowd for everything they’re worth before word about the bad parts of your company get around (SpaceX, WeWork, a majority of boring companies, too)
Make art and share it with others, maybe?
“Even if I’m bad at it?”
ESPECIALLY if you’re bad at it.
Call it out when you see it
Make the art you have been wanting to but were too scared or unsure to do. It’s a scarcity and the existence of such thing is a perpetual reminder that these clanks don’t feel.
