  Same reason as forcing people back into the office even though it’s the solution to a number of serious issues affecting society:

  Investors/banks have tons of money in these markets and are incentivizing/forces companies to adopt these policies to prop up the markets, whether it is in their interest or not.

    Oh, yeah, we have that too… we want people in the office because collaboration! Synergy! etc. etc.

    “How does that work if you want everyone using AI?”

      Oooo hot take time: I’d rather work in an office again than be forced to use LLMs.

        I’d rather use the AI than go back to the office. The AI doesn’t care if I’m wearing any pants.

        I’d rather correct LLM hallucinations than some of the crap front line tech support tells people. :)

  “The marketing and salespeople were enthused by the possibilities of working with these new tools, he added.”

  [sigh] Because of course they do. Those people couldn’t find their own arses even if they used both hands.
