I see the AI as a tool for my work, nothing else. It's just another perspective I can get, and for now, it's for free. Ignoring its existence won't make it go away either. I don't plan on making AI a centerpiece to my work because at that point I can definitely quit writing since I wouldn't be the creator or the writer anymore.
I see you are heavily against AI use in any form, but I do wonder if this is the correct answer going forward in a world that is increasingly AI focused. I'm not saying that everyone should use it, but maybe ethical use should be what people should demand and work toward to, not flat out refusal of any interaction with it. I really think sooner or later it will become inevitable in everyone's lives...
