I think you underestimate how easy it is for developers to disregard what the Corp lawyer said about AI code gen tools.

Manager: "we asked, legal says you can't use copilot", dev: "okay, so from now on, I'll not discuss how I use copilot and will remember to disable it when someone sees me working, gotcha".

I'm not saying everyone will do this, I'm saying some people will know that the corp doesn't always have a way to verify how the code was written, and they will think that a lawsuit cannot really happen to them.

Manager: "Everyone else is running through their feature list faster than you. What gives? Remember, you're not allowed to use Copilot."

IC: "I'm not using Copilot."
