There’s nothing wrong with judgment. Judging someone’s character based on whether they use generative “AI” is a valid practice. You may not like being judged, but that’s another matter entirely.
If your attitude is consistently "idk the AI made it" and you refuse to review it yourself. For 1, I am insulted that you think I should pick up your slack, and 2, I'm going to judge you and everything you put out even more harshly - for my own sanity, and trying to keep debt under control.
Judgement isn't a bad thing, it's how we decide good from bad. Pretending that it is because it uniquely discriminates against bad practise only proves to me that it's worth doubling down on that judgement.
* - I won't necessarily say/do anything different, but I am more careful - and I do start to look for patterns / ways to help.
Your opinion, if I had to guess, is that generative “AI” can be good and useful. My opinion is that it’s an insult to humanity that causes considerable harm and should not be used. These are both valid opinions to have, although they disagree with each other.
Don’t fall into the trap of “I’m objectively correct, everyone else just has opinions”.
You and I know that using AI is a metric to consider when judging ability and quality.
The difference is that it's not judgment but a broadcast, announcement.
In this case a snotty one from Discourse.
I mention that it lingers because I think that is a real psychological effect that happens.
Small announcements like this carry over into the future and flood any evaluation of yourself which can be described as torture and sabotage since it has an effect on decisions you make sometimes destroying things.
Your comparison to torture and sabotage is unfounded to the point of being simply bizarre.
