"We never use AI. For anything." becomes a much weaker statement when you exclude dependencies. Your whole app could just be a thin wrapper around some third party dependency which leans heavily on AI.
It makes the manifested statements become more realistic, sure, as I doubt any dogmatic approach could even exist for long. But I don't think this warrants anybody to bring out the pitchforks and scream "HYPOCRISY!", though...
This whole thing is a matter of choice, and we shouldn't necessarily conflate the role we take when we consume/use a dependency/tool with the role of crafting own things. I, for one, can apply agency solely on things that offer me means to change them.
