The whole "as little AI code as possible" is tribalism.

I want software that is brilliant and well audited, no matter who or what produced it.

No AI guarantees nothing, especially if it's a C codebase like netbsd, why not also join the rust tribe then?

It's more like the Amish not using certain technology we all take for granted.

I see this much broader: opting out of certain technologies.

As a vegan I opt out of all animal domestication/husbandry and wild catch/hunt.

And I try to stay away from refined sugar and refined starches.

Abortion is also a technology people feel strongly about.

And now we have the use of AI.

Did we also have people that did not want to use an electronic calculator when it just came out? Probably.

Not caring about ethics is selfish.
