No, this did not force you to use AI.

People have been coding without using hands thanks to voice recognition for quite some time. https://youtu.be/8SkdfdXWYaI

I will spare all my usual critique of AI because dang wants to ban me whenever I do. It doesn't mean all that doesn't stand.

Rather pointless for a temporary injury. I’ve used these old fashioned speech UIs as well and they are a huge pain in the ass to set up and learn. LLMs with natural language understanding and code generation abilities are several orders of magnitude better.

I would argue for this, I guess, except that "forced me to write all my code with AI" is obvious misrepresentation. It doesn't sit well with me except as representative of the same over-egged hype that surrounded the Apple Vision Pro.
