Ask your AI girlfriend how "performative" is usually used. AI boosters here are really deranged and dumb.
What "effort" do you make? I'm sure you only produce SEO slop garbage.

Your booster efforts are wasted.

It is not "performative hand wringing" to observe that a tool sucks and to reject its use. You cannot, at present, write quality software with AI tools. At best you get something you could've made yourself, slower than you could've made it yourself. Only a fool insists on using a tool when it has been proven to not work.

Unsure what you mean by "quality", but I've personally created projects using AI which work to my satisfaction, and which I didn't make "myself" as I considered it to be too much manual work for not enough benefit. Now using it for even greater things. The tool works fine once you've learned how to use it.
AI is only going to get better and better. Eventually manually writing software by hand with programming languages will be thought of as the punch-card phase of software development.
Do these people think we'll be writing software in 200 years time? That anybody will be maintaining rsync, let alone this "moral human hands only" version of it?
The anti-AI lot are trying to make all AI content wear a Scarlett letter. I wish they would wear one themselves so that we could filter them from our timeline.
This "effort" is entirely wasted.
