LLMs are the first technology I've experienced where there's a lot of top-down pressure to adopt it ASAP. Most other technologies in my career, like VCS or static analysis or whatever else were championed by colleagues or peers.

Because you're training it to replace you. MBA's have found a tool that finally allows them to cut out pesky intellectuals and creatives and they're chomping at the bit to make that a reality. Look around, dark enlightenment is being embraced/tolerated at the top.

That's what they think they are doing yes but there's a big difference between what the marketing department tells us and the reality of those tools
