I know I’m late to the party to @mipsytipsy@hachyderm.io’s post “Is it ethical to use AI?”, where she argues that “AI is just technology”. It’s been festering inside me, and Martin Fowler’s mention of the article that calls AI “a technology that is so powerful and so useful”, and therefore “there’s no ethical gain from renouncing the use of AI”. (Especially as both have provided thoughtful and nuanced writing on many topics over the years.) For context, I’ve written on @activegroupgmbh@discuss.systems’s policy toward agentic development:
