> "I'm writing my code and reviewing my code by hand, which seems crazy to say," said the 34-year-old, who lives in North Carolina and works for a large tech-entertainment company that she described as progressive. "Just two years ago, how else would you do it?"

Imagine working with this person. At a certain point you just can't do the job. What if a religious Jew wants to work at a butcher shop and refuses the handle pork. Why does everyone feel like they're entitled to do a particular job, making everyone else's life considerably more difficult

It’s kinda worse than that - an Orthodox Jew would, by long-standing traditions and teachings, not be expected to touch pork. The same beliefs that make this person object to using AI could easily apply to any cloud-scale service dependent on data centers.

Like say… Google search (the old non-AI one)

Yeah and it's actually possible to avoid pork if you need to. If she wanted to actually stand by her beliefs at this point she'd have to go live in the woods.

Not a good comparison because so many differences between both stories. Also a practicing Jew or Muslim would not work in that kind of butchery serving non kosher meat in the first place, you're trying to delude other people.

Right like someone that doesn't want to work with computers wouldn't work as a programmer. Do you see it now?

???? You can code without ai bud. Leave the frummies out of this. What does kashrut have to do with ai.

Imagine you ask someone "Can you hand me the butter please? That would be very kind." and they respond "Why does everyone in the world want to have all the butter that ever existed in this very instant?!", and then you ask them what they do for a living while chewing on your dry bread, and they say oh, I write software for pacemakers.
