Is there a way to fight back? Like I do t need Adobe in my Microsoft Word at work, can I just make a script that constantly demands AI content from it that is absolutely drivel, and set it running over the weekend while I'm not there? To burn up all their electricity and/or processing power?

They would probably detect that and limit your usage.

Even not using their service still leaves its pollution. IMO the best way to fight back is to support higher pollution taxes. Crypto, AI, whatever's next - it should be technology agnostic.
