    “Everyone uses it” is just such a dumb argument.

    I don’t use it, I’ve never committed any code written by genAI. My colleagues don’t use it. Many, many people choose not to use it.

      I didn’t mean it in the literal sense but if it makes you happy, we can pretend that whenever someone says “everyone” they mean it literally.

        Bullshit. “Everyone” in your comment was a clear “appeal to popularity” argument, made to other anyone not on the bandwagon.

        It deserves to be called out for what it is.

        Well, you see, the “everyone” you are referring to are the same stupid masses that already don’t deserve respect on the macro level. The same stupid masses voting in politicial officials like Donald Trump.
