I've never touched an LLM and won't use AI. Everything I ever have and will make is hand crafted.

I use Cursor and still think of my work as hand crafted, the project is exactly what I wanted, I just didn’t have to press every single key

I don't even use editor suggestions for the next word I should write. For me, something I didn't think of myself is not mine.

Heh thanks for sharing. my boundary between self and other feels much more blurry :)

Like if I overhear a conversation, watch a documentary, and read a billboard, and ideas from each recombine in my head to create some interpolated idea, I'm not even sure how much I get credit for that, I suppose

My role seems just to tend to the garden of my mind, so new things might grow there that I can share. AI is just another plant, or maybe it's another gardener who brings me clippings or seeds.

I dunno, just the idea of me doing almost anything "myself" feels a bit challenging to my worldview. I see no particularly honour in thinking of something in isolation (in fact, being immersed in other ideas/ppl/inspiration seems the key ingredient)... except insofar as stealing ideas or failing to attribute seems dishonest

(I'm not saying my worldview is the right one btw)

EDIT: recently heard about the Schwartz theory of basic human values, and guessing you score much higher than me on "self-direction" :) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_basic_human_values

I'm not saying I'm not influenced or inspired by anything. Nothing is truly from scratch without recreating the entire universe. I just mean I don't like AI assistance for the same reason I don't like people trying to finish my sentences while I'm talking.
