I’ve literally never used AI*. For anything. Ever. The closest I’ve come is reading ChatGPT transcripts that someone else sent me and then discussing those.

I’m sure there are people who are using AI and lying about it. I also know for a fact that there are people, like me, who don’t use AI, regardless of the people who claim that “everyone” is using it.

I also think most people aren’t as good at telling the difference as they think they are. There are several layers of irony there, but I’m too tired to get into them right now.

*The disclaimer here is: I’ve never purposely or voluntarily used AI. For people who want to argue semantics and say that I’ve used things it’s embedded in when I haven’t had a choice—sure. That’s true. I’ve had that stupid little useless AI box on Google pop up sometimes, for example. But I didn’t use whatever it was because of the AI, I used it in spite of it and without alternatives.
