>I didn't use Git when it first came out.

This really hinges on what you mean by "didn't use git".

If you were using bzr or svn, that's one thing.

If you were saving multiple copies of files ("foo.old.didntwork" and the like), then I'd submit that you're making the point for the AI supporters. I consulted with a couple developers at the local university as recently as a couple years ago who were still doing the copy files method and were struggling, when git was right there ready to help.
