If you're being forced to use it, just try to convince them to make whatever workflows you use be AI agnostic, and not required to still function.

As long as you do that, you won't run into this.

That's essentially what I'm doing right now, and thus far, they still want workers who understand the code. However, my manager has already said that his boss had it compose a few scripts, and he thought he could therefore replace an entire workflow.

Thankfully, my manager talked him down and pointed out that it still got several nontrivial things wrong and that taking humans out is dangerous when it comes time to push to production.

But it's concerning to see that the higher ups don't understand what it is and what its limitations are.
