I'm required to use LLMs for work (we have metrics and I've been told I should use AI daily) and while every once in a while they are useful (i.e. getting examples for stuff that has inadequate documentation) 99% of the time they just piss me off. The output and results are seldom what I want and rather than spend the time to direct it to do what I want I'd often rather just do the work myself. Furthermore when my coworkers send me PRs that are obviously AI the code quality is pretty shit and usually doesnt actually accomplish what we need in a way that makes sense. As someone who has invested a lot of time in improving my coding ability and knowledge I see AI code and it makes me whince.

I’m sorry they’re forcing it on you. That’s unfortunate. You might send them this reasoning section:

in an attempt to change their minds.

There are additional links in the More Info section at the bottom that provide supporting evidence.

Ah it's fine my boss told me that interacting with the AI is enough and that he doesnt care if I'm just asking it the weather. It's a large publicly traded company and the AI push is coming from a lot higher up the change so sadly theres not much i could do to affect the situation.
