"I'm not using any AI."

Nor am I

This seems to trigger snarky replies on HN, including personal attacks

Every day HN readers are forced to read endless submissions and comments that amount to "I'm using AI". Great, thanks for sharing

A single commenter remarks, "I'm not using AI". A slew of smarky replies ensues, including personal attacks

How do we explain this

Cognitive dissonance from being confronted with evidence they're not actually speeding up, when us non-AI devs are only having issues with managers pushing it from above even though we're not actually falling behind?

I also use vim and don't use AI.
