Until your employer forces you to use it...

My employer is forcing me to use it. :(

Mine, too. Sucked out all motivation and passion I had for my job out of me. This comic speaks to me.

They can set a limit or fire you for meddling with company affairs or wasting resources. Companies have been given too much power to ever consider accomodating employees even slightly.

I'm not too sure how an employer can force you to use it though. Do you have to write your emails in the exact same format? Do you have to use images of questionable quality in your reports? How does such a thing even work?

They have usage metrics that show management how many tokens you've consumed, how many commits you've made that were co-authored by AI. etc. This started at Meta where they made a token usage leaderboard called "Claudeonomics".

It would be the same way that you are forced to use a computer nowadays.

Underperform and get fired for it. Afterwards struggle to get hired because nobody wants to hire a person who refuses to use the new tech.
