Question for people who choose not to use generative AI for ethical reasons: Do you make that choice despite accepting the growing evidence that it works (at least for some tasks, e.g. coding agents working on some kinds of software)? Or do you reject it because of the ethical problems *and* a belief that it doesn't actually work?

I'm thinking that principled rejection of generative AI might have to be the former kind, *despite* evidence that it works.

@matt I have staked out the position that I will do my own thinking. The hard work, the blunders, and the late nights will be the point of it all. When I mess up, I will not blame it on "AI", but at the same time it cannot claim credit for my successes.

Since I'm a Colorado guy, I'll give this analogy: it's like people who drive their car on the road up Pikes Peak, and then say, "I climbed Pikes Peak."

@nantucketlit I guess the pragmatic response to that would be, what if your boss just wants you to get to the other side of Pike's Peak in the most efficient way?
