@Haste ....ofcourse you can make decisions for yourself, but you can very likely not fully distinguish code where AI is used in development and code where it is not, that is a simple fact. So it is more effective to steer on quality in code , promote responsible use of AI in software development, then start a "crusade" against AI that looks good but is futile.

@ErikJonker You wield “simple facts” as if they are weapons. Watch out everyone, I’ve got a simple fact! I’m not afraid to use it. But having a fact is not very interesting on its own. I don’t even think it’s true that I can never know if code is written by AI. I could, for example, ask the author to explain it to me, and if they can’t, that’s a pretty useful data point that they didn’t write it. I also don’t have to solve 100% of the problem, or else resign. I can take bites out of it.
