And here we are. AI use mandates are a humiliation ritual, at least how I've seen them. Because it's not just a matter of making the employees use AI; public criticism or speaking about the drawbacks are also punished. It's get totally on board or get out; if you're not completely gung ho, despite the testimony of your lying eyes, maybe you don't have what it takes to work here, son. It's something they use as a shit test, just like the North Korean dogma that Kim Jong-il scored a perfect 18 holes-in-one every time he stepped on the course: are you willing to compromise your values, to the point of mouthing naked untruths, in total submission to the company's leadership?
Do you actually have a job? Do you talk to your coworkers?
This is an insane take. Plenty of people are critical of AI at my job despite a big push to use it. I find the comparison to NK distasteful, coming from someone who presumably is pretty well paid and can quit their job whenever they want.
If you're feeling humiliated... well, I don't think it's because your boss wants you to try AI.
