Every generation is cheating

Every generation is blamed for cheating by using tools the previous generation did not have access to.

I remember working in Photoshop and there were no layers. When there was no magnetic lasso. I remember when autocomplete was not a thing in the IDE. I remember when the IDE did not exist, you wrote in notepad. I remember when sampling in music was considered cheating. When using open source was considered unprofessional. When using Wikipedia was cheating. When using stock photos was cheating. When using Stack Overflow was cheating.

I will remember when using GenAI was considered cheating.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
