I'm not bothered when people choose to avoid using AI.

Making a declaration that you are rejecting AI can come across as implying use of AI is a moral failing. There are certainly people who overtly claim it is a moral failing.

I think the people who are offended are perceiving this as as statement impugning their character.

Sounds like a them problem.

The reasoning you describe seems somewhat self centered.

I'm not sure I want to worry too much about people who go through life assuming everyone else's statements are a direct commentary about themselves.

There's nothing moral about using AI to replace the same artists whose work was used to train it.

Indeed, the linked article goes so far as to explicitly state, "Our magazine is committing itself to remaining handmade. Ensure every publication you support does the same."

For producing content... yes. yes it is.

How dare you expect to vomit into the street and expect me to treat it like flowers.

This trend in other areas of life is becoming boring and tiring.

The double think is astounding.
