Do you think it's hypocritical if an artist dislikes gen-ai, but uses AI to support them with their accountancy?

Discussion 🗣️

My sister in law is extremely anti-ai... Well, when it comes to the production of art. She is an illustrator and has a small business.

However, she openly uses AI when she's trying to do her business accounts "because it saves her money on an accountant".

I see this quite a lot: "AI is okay, as long as it doesn't impact my profession".

Even quite a few here seem to be of the view that AI is okay if it removes the need for repetitive or boring tasks... But those dull things were also once someone's job, so what's the difference?
