FIND yourself a a linux distribution or BSD that does reject AI; use it and donate to it.

YEAH the linux kernel has slop. Most programming languages have slop. Most desktop environments have slop, you will have dependencies that are still slop. This is a big problem; there is no magic off switch to fixing this overnight.
We are in the early days of dealing with a contaminate that polluters are actively dumping into our digital environment.
It is going to take a long time before anyone can truly be slop free.
But support, and invest in the folks doing that hard work which will build a slop free future.
