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 ethical issues but also because I *want* to do the work myself. I don’t care if it’s easier or better with AI. The whole point of my life on this planet is to grow and to learn and to accomplish, and I can’t do that if I outsource my brain to a computer.
