These generative AI systems go against
everything which I thought the FOSS movement stood for.
Idealism vs realism, I'm afraid.
I believe that if you're commercially employed in IT today and not making use of AI, be that as a sysadmin like me, or a developer, then you are simply not competitive and won't be as productive as someone who does use them.
I am also a luddite who has never really got over the invention of the spinning jenny, but also a realist and someone who strives for efficiency.
Of course anyone can find a million examples of how AI is rubbish, and those will reinforce any anti bias. Regardless of what yours or my views on this are, AI is here and only going to get more used,
Idealism is great, but FOSS is a lot of things to a great many people, and idealists are only one faction of its supporter base. AI is contributing a lot to code audits for security and efficiency and, one day, it may even solve its own power demands.
