While I agree with the main message, I’ll be one to say you are a hypocrite. Code doesn’t have to be art for the use without consent to be wrong. Arguing that way is the same as when people say that using AI to generate images is fine because they have the idea but not the skills to execute it.
Either way you are diminishing someone’s else work because you find this tool useful to achieve the results you want.



I can’t imagine myself doing that either, but I’ve seen that happen so often that it’s just disheartening. I’ve asked for explanation of code in PRs and got “idk, the AI generated that” way too many times, and that’s from professional software engineers, people who should know better. The corner-cutting is just too much for me
