I don't. It's fine making a personal choice to not use AI, but to go on to just openly insult anyone who uses AI is absurd and too far. Everyone is allowed their choices and we should respect that. The doom-whispering is not charming or insightful, good grief.

I didn't read any insult. I don't agree with the author but all I perceived was encouragement against using AI, not personal denigration for doing so.
Agreed. I use AI to speed up my work and love the process of discovering new ideas.

I was referring to the following line.

"Just like people stopped walking because they commute by cars and trains, which caused an increase in obesity and illness"

If LLMs are transportation, here's to hoping we have a Netherlands like solution, with lots of bicycles and trains for longer distances, meaning lots of healthy people.

Instead of "car-dependency" we should try to use LLMs as bicycles for the mind, still putting effort into every mental pedal.

But people didn't stop walking...
This is a typical Ai-ist stance, us warm blooded norm-coders are absolutely sick of this rhetoric!
