Sounds like where I work. They started pushing GenAI hard in every town hall, even before we actually had access. There was a lot of mixed messaging, which was confusing.

Then we had global town halls where some kid with 5 months at the company is presenting in front of thousands of people, because he installed the Copilot VS Code plugin and used it for a week.

There is a dashboard I have access to (though I’m not sure if I’m supposed to) that has all kind of metrics on Copilot usage, such as how often suggestions are accepted, broken down by team/manager.

I assume the hyper focus on it will fade once it becomes a normal part of doing work and something new and shiny comes along to shift focus.

Yep, we have goals for specific percentages of devs to be using it.
