    “Everyone uses it” is just such a dumb argument.

    I don’t use it, I’ve never committed any code written by genAI. My colleagues don’t use it. Many, many people choose not to use it.

      I didn’t mean it in the literal sense but if it makes you happy, we can pretend that whenever someone says “everyone” they mean it literally.

        Bullshit. “Everyone” in your comment was a clear “appeal to popularity” argument, made to other anyone not on the bandwagon.

        It deserves to be called out for what it is.

          Oh, someone did read a Wikipedia article! No, it was not “appeal to popularity,” it was meant to show that you’d be hard to find a product where at least small part wasn’t generated with AI, meaning singling this company out because they admitted it is bullshit.

        Well, you see, the “everyone” you are referring to are the same stupid masses that already don’t deserve respect on the macro level. The same stupid masses voting in politicial officials like Donald Trump.

          Conflating multiple things together, are we?

          But hey, everyone who doesn’t share your exact world view on all issues is a Nazi!

            I mean I guess I can get how you think that’s what I said?

            I’m more so just commenting on the fact that “everyone” is like a majority dumbasses.
