What else do you expect me to do exactly?

If I thought there was an actual, substantial amount of support for people with my point of view then things would be different. But there just isn't. Most people are just too passive and go along with whatever is happening.

I've already been fired from one job for a very mild pushback against their AI strategy, is it worth being poor forever to fight this battle?

Even if it's not inevitable, if your employer tells you "use AI or get fired", well, take your pick. A lot of the resentment I see is a result of those sorts of mandates.
