At my job they’ve explicitly called out AI Usage and Aptitude as a core requirement for performance. So you are damn right I am juicing numbers up.
You'll be the first type of human I'd cut off from water and electricity supply if I were in charge of that sort of thing in the future. Sorry. 😢
I’d cut me off too
In that case, you're failing to diagnose the problem.
The human causing these problems are not the humans doing actual productive work (+/- AI usage).
The ones you look for are the ones who exercise executive control over the entire organization.
Attacking the working class for using AI as directed is like being angry at two knuckles on someone's right fist because they punched you in the face.
Totally fair, but in another lens if just nobody used it full stop that would help too.
In a world where we all had perfect coordination and could ensure that there was 100% compliance with a boycott that would work.
In reality, a very small number of people would take a stand and then they would be fired and replaced.
The AI bubble isn't going to be resolved by individual efforts. It will have to play out until the inevitable conclusion, at best you can ensure that you and your family are not exposed to the fallout. Check your investments/retirement accounts if you have them and make sure you're not being invested into these companies. Someone is going to lose a lot of money, make sure it isn't you.
