Let's be real with ourselves, there are plenty of everyday tools that speed up tasks, like image background removers, that utilize AI.
Excluding every single AI-powered piece of tooling because of a personal bias doesn't feel gratifying, even if you insist that the motivation is to drive individual development and growth.
You would be doing people more favors by allowing them to stretch their abilities with the assistance of tools that they would normally be able to use freely.
That said, it's not my jam, so obviously these are the rules that must be followed.
