I disagree. You are an AI evangelist and quite closed-minded. Having a "balanced" approach, if there was one, would be to label any AI usage explicitly. If you're afraid to label your AI usage, you're a fucking coward.

But, damn, let's not blame the billion dollar data centers for global warming, guys! It's the individual decisions you make every day that kills the planet! If you believe this, the AI has fried your brain. It's not one authoritarian government, it's a different one! Actual paste-eating behavior. My work has improved with LLM usage! A common saying from people who were not good at their job, and are somehow now worse without them realizing it.

Any decent developer I have found has hated LLMs because they do not work anywhere near as well as people who are shit at things think they do. Personally, I don't really like smashing the Skinner Box button hoping the output works this time because I like programming, and having Claude rape my codebase seems like a bad idea to me if I ever want to go back in there. But, then again, I like knowing how my code works, so maybe I should just lobotomize myself and I'll understand why you like it so much.
