AI isn’t just coming for entry-level workers. Google CEO Sundar Pichai says no job, not even his own, is safe. But those who don’t adapt will be the first to fall.
My jobs is fairly low level administration, and I have point blank refused to use the AI tools they are trying to force on us. My reasoning to management is that I’ve never needed it before. My reasoning to my colleagues is that I’m not fucking training it to replace me.
My approach at my last company was to loudly call BS, and I got let go (don’t know how tightly correlated those were but I wasn’t making management more friendly to me).
My current company is tracking which people/teams use AI “but not to evaluate anyone.” Now I’m getting praise for staying on the bleeding edge of the tooling but also trying to very clearly describe where the LLM retry loop solved some config error and where I had to delete half of its unnecessary code.

Sincerely: good luck!
