For wear reasons alone, I don't see myself typing stuff in full with the one set of hands I have, when I can also make the machine do it.

RSI (Repetitive strain injury) is no joke in our profession.

So that alone makes the moral 100% anti AI standpoint a bit weak and surprisingly ignorant, given that a lot of the anger is (rightfully) about ignorant tech bros bulldozing reality with slop.

Counterpoint, while LLMs can generate tons of stuff, you still need to type stuff to make it generate tons of stuff, so you're still typing. Just more output per typed word, but you can still spend all day typing.

RSI doesn't seem to be nearly as big an issue anymore as it was in e.g. the 2000s though, not sure why exactly. Speaking for myself, physical exercise and a flat keyboard resolved it.

		Speech to text improvements combined with the massive improvement in natural language understanding are the often unsung heroes of the current AI trend. Somehow, many people still seem entirely unaware of this workflow.

This is a false dichotomy: text-to-speech and a variety of autocomplete tools with zero Generative AI also exist.
