Unfortunately we’re in the phase where even if you write things yourself, be it prose with em dashes or code with velocity, you’re given a demerit. And, if you are using AI, the work is still treated as less valuable, even if it brings value.

This is true, some people do react this way. But I've noticed its far more pronounced if people try to hide the AI usage for code.

AI prose is always looked down on, I feel dirty after having read it.

Haters have always been hating.

There's nothing new under the sun.

They just have different buzzwords to hate.
