The AI industry is built on deception and greed. If it were in the hands of benevolent non-profit scientific organisations trying to solve medical dilemmas, improving vaccine distribution, preventing climate catastrophes - yep, I'd be on board. But it isn't - its controlled by men on power trips.

You can find it useful, but its still an ethical vacuum. I believe the ethical and environmental costs of AI are too high and so I will not "learn to use it", or participate in building its capacity to do more damage to people and planet. It's a choice that has consequences. Using it validates it.
