Nobody ever adresses that using AI might actually be less efficient (while feeling more productive to the users)

    It might. It might help too (something your link explicitly states). It may be circumstantial.

    Yeah thats the point I was trying to make.

    Why is it talked about so onesidedly when it is actually multi-facetted? The blog to me reads like: "there are legal reasons against AI and there are fanatic reasons against AI, so we yive you the option to disable it (but actually it's totally great as we all know and agree)."

    I wish they'd addressed it in a more nuanced way or not at all. Just saying "It is now a config" would have been enough, but they went out of their way to point out only the subset of the arguments that can be easily dismissed.

    Guess they have a product to sell that rides on the succsess of AI coding.

    I don't see why they should need to address all the concerns specifically if they've provided the option people want anyway?

    It seems they don't really force you to use the AI anyway so people could just ignore it if they wanted?
