Stop using fascist things.
Stores, websites, apps, cars, hosting, operating systems, and all other providers of goods/services should be audited by you. You should then ask yourself if you want to give them your money and/or your trust.

I’m trying, but they keep forcing it into devices I already own and even with turning it off in the settings sometimes it gets turned back on during updates.

Out of curiosity what devices are giving you these issues? I may know of some alternatives depending.

Anything with a web browser. Work computers. Phone. Have to turn off the AI crap on all of those manually after they were added in updates.
Don’t really believe turning off the settings keeps them from farming data either, since they constantly lie about what data they collect and use for training.

For web browser’s, check librewolf or brave, I would lean further towards librewolf just because it’s oss which is something I value.
For search engines, we’re in a weird spot right now because Microsoft is restricting the use of Bing’s search API, but duck duck go is good, and ecosia as well, but they both may be in a rough spot soon.
Work computer you can’t do much other than ask your supervisor to ask about moving away from ai stuff, all you can do directly is limit your personal information on your work station.
For phones, If you have apple, sorry, if not, you could look into changing the operating system on it to something like e/os or graphene os, they are both operating systems that are focused on privacy and security.
If you need anymore information about my recommendations, I am happy to help.
