It all depends on how strict or loose your definition of contributions are.
Do opthalmolagists work towards AI? No, but they give the coders their glasses so they can clean the screen.
Do dump truck drivers work towards AI? No, but they remove waste and improve sanitation that keeps coders and society healthier.
You see my point. Shitposting probably doesn't help unless the AI wants to perfectly replicate you so it can torture you for eternity.
