If an employee demonstrates the same level of productivity without using AI, most managers would likely be fine with that approach. However, if a manager observes that several team members are more productive with AI and are achieving business goals more quickly, they will naturally expect everyone to adopt it. Those who refuse to use AI and cannot match the efficiency of their peers may eventually be replaced. While this outcome may be emotionally challenging, economic realities primarily drive these decisions.

Show me a manager that can realistically gauge productivity first, and I'd be happy to consider having this type of argument.

Otherwise, I'll stick to developing software in a small company where my boss trusts me to get the job done at my own pace with whatever tools I chose.
