If you do not want AI to control you, then just unplug yourself and be done with it. :)
AI is here to stay. Either you adapt or you die.
Are you the overlords bot? Seems that they lobotomized you very quickly. You are their weapon now... and the enemy of humanity.

define they?
I am not anybody's weapon. I just live in the real world. If you think the future will be different, and without AI, you are dilusional.
Do you still make fire by rubbing sticks?

In some ways it's like Bitcoin: it's software and you can't stop it. The very fact that such software is possible to create and someone finds it useful (whether it's for purposes you consider nefarious or admirable) means it's meant to be part of our reality.
Just like nuclear weapons: physics allows them and someone likes to wield that kind of power, so they exist. You can dismantle the existing ones, but the knowledge of how to make them is never going to be erased. Even if you managed to burn and cut out of people's brains the works of Einstein, Rutherford, Fermi and others who led the foundations (and throw nuclear power plants, PET imaging, radiation therapy, carbon dating, NMR etc. out with the bathwater - BTW thanks to GPT for this list!), but it wouldn't take long before we rediscovered their findings and eventually, nuclear weapons. These days probably less than a month.
