... because they noticed first-hand that AI fails often and that hallucinations can cause problems for them. It's very easy for a manager to say "just use AI". It's A LOT harder for the employee who will be personally held responsible for AI-generated work that contained mistakes.

I left a career of 20 years, and good pay, and part of it is AI being slammed down your throat. It is not work, which may be iteresting, on doing your own AI, its just enforcing that you are an end-user of it. Fuck that, I am AI vegan at the moment, and happy. I may build a machine and find out how to fix the architecual mistakes in this new scene, but thats very different than being an end user of it.

For any tool, you want to measure the productivity gains, not the usage of the tool itself. Are these companies really that bad at measuring the work that gets done? You don't care how many times the hammer was used. You care that the house got built and the time it took to build it at what level of quality.
