I have been tuning out for the last ~3 years and unfortunately it hasn't been the best strategy because the hype is still running roughshod all over me

It is very likely my employer will use my AI apathy as an excuse to include me in the next round of layoffs, compared to my coworkers that are very AI enthusiastic

They're not that hard to learn how to use. If your employer asks you to use one then just learn whatever tool the license you for, it's not that big of a deal. It's like learning how to use your employer's official IDE or email client.

Maybe that would even be justified, if you are a software developer? If not now, at least soon.

Imagine a software developer who refuses to use IDEs, or any kind of editor beyond sed, or version control, or some other essential tool. AI is soon similar, except in rare niche cases.
