# Ask HN: Why is not using AI considered a form of arrogance? > Source: > Published: 2026-07-08 20:58:50+00:00 We all have to do what we have to do. I don't consider the fact that people refuse to use AI necessarily arrogant, they merely have the choice at this stage. There are some who exhibit arrogance/aggression and like to virtue signalling to us other mere mortals, which is annoying. Nonetheless, I preferred life before LLMs. Now I'm making the best of a bad situation, and going with the flow. Too old to fight a losing battle.
