Anecdotally, I've seen people do just that. Say, "I've tried it, it either didn't help me at all, or it didn't help me enough to be worth messing with."
But pretty consistently, such claims are met with accusations of not having tried it correctly, or not having tried it with the best/newest AI model, or not having tried it for long enough.
Thus, it seems that if you don't agree with maximum usage of AI, you must be wrong and/or stupid. I can understand that fostering feeling the need to criticize AI rather than just opt out.
Yeah, this is my precise experience. No matter what I say, some AI booster will show up to argue that I didn't experience what I experienced.
(And if I enjoyed being gaslighted, I'd just be using the LLMs in the first place.)
i get your point. i've mixed result with AI tool like Github copilot and Jetbrains Junie.
