Why? Do you refuse to use autocomplete in IDEs too? Do you refuse to use build and release tools? Why stop there - do you refuse to use computers at all? Just use pen and paper.
Because it’s not fun. Coming up with algorithms and elegant code is the most fun part about programming for me, and debugging pages of sloppy code is the least fun. AI makes the parts I like less fun and increases the amount of sloppy bullshit code I have to debug.
Why are pages of sloppy code being approved into your code base?
Remember that AI isnt just trained on poorly written code, but also on the most elegant and innovative code there is. It can suggest and allow your code that is far above your level as well.
I use AI as sort of a pair programmer buddy. Sometimes I see what tis producing and know i can do better. Sometimes it does something i didnt know was possible and i kearn something new. Other times its a middle ground, where it shows a solution i didnt think of, but now that i uave seen it i can write a better version of that solution.
Youre missing out on learning oppurtunities by not leveraging it. To each their own though

Do you think it is possible for someone to have different reactions to different things?
I’m trying to understand why a software developer is refusing to use software.
Don’t use auto complete, do use lsp, build and release tools are not at all in the same vein.
They are because as you just said, they are tools just like Copilot and other AI dev tools are.
