Comment on My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts

Developers are resentful toward AI for the same reason they resented blockchain–it becomes a buzz word that every middle manager is convinced will improve productivity, and it’s forced whether it’s actually helpful or not.
I work on safety-critical code. AI is useless here, but we have to “use” it to appease clueless shareholders.

What would happen if you collectively put your foot down on zero “AI code” to management, with such critical applications?

I’m a senior with a good boss, I pretty much just ignore it. And fortunately, at least in my company, most people have done that (especially with the safety critical stuff). But management still has a way of making your life miserable when you stand your ground on this kind of thing, so it’s also common to just tell them some bullshit and go about your job.
