>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.
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.
So people will be more likely to think twice before using Cursor, Copilot et al? Good. I think they should.
Your comparison to torture and sabotage is unfounded to the point of being simply bizarre.
I think humans should use AI as much as possible. Just putting that thought out there, so people are less likely to think twice.
