How about we stop baking praise for the object of criticism into our critique.

No one is hearing your criticism.

They hear "Code generators are useful software" and go on with their day.

If you want to make your point effectively, stop kowtowing to our AI overlords.

If you don't think code generators are useful, that's fine.

I think code generators are useful, but that one of the trade-offs of using them is that it encourages people to anthropomorphize the software because they are also prose generators. I'm arguing that these two functions don't necessarily need to be bundled.
