“There is no alternative” is a cheap rhetorical sleight. It’s a demand dressed up as an observation. “There is no alternative” means: “Stop trying to think of an alternative.”
My point is just that by publishing anything online, you feed the AI. Even with our conversation here, we feed the AI. It does not matter if you provide it in a prompt or not. Obviously, I did not mean that it is a good thing.

There’s a difference between being passively exploited and actively cooperating
