AITA for telling my bf i will break up with him if he doesnot stop using ai

asking this because multiple of my friends have told me that it was a great overreaction.

My boyfriend is not very "up with the times" he does not have tiktok and doesn't really know much about internet stuff. However he attended some work summit related to AI recently and now he won't stop using it for every microscopic thing which can be easily searched. I have told him multiple times how horrible ai is especially the environment it is destroying, the water pollution etc etc. This was about three months ago. Now it has gotten to the limit that he talks to chat gpt about things which we can easily talk about together. Nothing relationship related (more in general friend stuff). Yesterday we had decided to watch a movie and he was pretty much on his phone half the movie. I thought it was something work related but later found out that he was telling the ai how the movie was. This pissed me off and I said something along the lines of stop this shit or we are seriously breaking up. My boyfriend along with some of my friends think it isn't really that big of a deal. We are not talking right now and we had a date planned for today. Should i apologise

edit: thanks for all the answers I did apologise and we are okay now. Also told him in detail why ai is horrible in general and he told me he was a bit avoidant about it and apologised too, Not using it will take time but hopefully we get there. Thankyou everyone
