ai assistance isn't opt out dipshit, my keyboard doesn't ask the AI before sending letters to my screen which is literally all that happens when I code. I have never even interacted with AI coding programs, you would have to intentionally download one in order for that.
They probably think that every intellisense or code completion is AI.
A lot of IDEs use some form of machine learning for autocompletion, but it's very different from slopcode generation.
If you use any of the popular mainstream IDEs, and have ever accepted a tab autocomplete, you actually have precisely done that.
If you use neovim or etc though then fair enough. Also props for using the best IDE :p
But if you VS code and have ever accepted a tab autocomplete... yes you were using AI friend lol
