I've seen many people comment on other discussion platforms they are using AI simply because the leadership at their employer is requiring it. And many of those comments follow up with how the results of the AI usage are not helpful, or worse, require checking/correcting work and resulting in a net negative for productivity verses if they had just done it themselves.

That's what I was wondering. Are employees doing it to trick their managers into believing that they're being more productive, or are they using it as a part of a corporate drive towards using more AI? If it's the latter, then sooner or later, those people will be gone, b'cos their work can just as easily be done by AI
A few days ago, I was watching a clip of a person who claimed to have written scripts that ends up in him only having to work one hour a day, rather than eight. A recruiter who played this script warned the readers that employers are looking to pull off such feats as well, so that they can let go of the person they have to pay, and just have scripts do all the work. That's what this increased AI usage at work will result in - most of the people being let go. It is a propaganda claim that those employees will be repurposed into more creative/productive tasks, but there is no reason why that work too couldn't be done by AI
