Banning people from covering their face willingly is an absurd attempt to control people’s behaviour. Banning people from forcing others to cover their faces is pointless because you already have ways to stop that.

This is plainly just a way to satisfy the right, diluting the power of the law and causing a scene in public.

The fact that some people don’t want to see AI being used to generate code does not make them dumb or misinformed. They may be informed, and simply reached a different conclusion than you.

Also, you have to consider that some of the most popular tools are controlled by a select few and that concentration can be used to control markets and users, reinforce biases, and shape what gets encouraged.

Finally, the use of AI can easily feed into a maximalist view of “produce more and faster” that has direct consequences like layoffs, increased cost of hardware, increased resource usage, increased environmental impact.
