> That seems pretty reasonable

I don't think anyone would think twice about this particular policy in isolation if the same people now worrying about the cost of LLMs didn't spend the last 6 months pushing their developers to use LLMs as much as possible (and in some cases, firing their coworkers claiming they weren't needed anymore because of LLMs).

Sadly many coworkers aren't really needed in the AI age.

I am aware of it happening in CMS projects, content translations are now mostly done by AI, and only require a smaller team to cross-check. Likewise image assets, no longer need to be outsourced to design agencies, stored into the image assets database, instead most of them are now generated.

"Do as much as possible with AI" and "Make sure you're actually accomplishing something with your AI usage" are obviously compatible directives.
