I've noticed that any question about AI usage on a general forum or group immediately gets shamed, shouted down, and canceled by an extremely vocal and vitriolic mob. No dialogue. No debate. End of discussion. Anyone who actually tries to answer OP's question also gets crucified. It's reached the point that I never dare answer. I'm sure dozens of other people who wanted to answer are also silently lurking. The irony is that IRL, everyone I know uses AI. Even those who supposedly hate it. My oldest daughter uses it in college. My younger daughter, who wrote an article in her high school paper warning against the danger of AI, uses it occasionally. My coworkers all use AI. My fiance, who is a college professor, uses it regularly. My brother, who constantly sends me "look how stupid ChatGPT is" texts obviously uses it. My 83-year old mom who bombards me with tech questions always appends those emails with "Gemini told me to do this, but it didn't work..."
Do others see a similar pattern? Even the people in my circle who are pretty vocal against AI, use it to some extent. It makes me wonder what percentage of that angry mob are actually hypocrites...
