Raw LLM Responses

First, AI will not replace us all, AI will replace those who are unable to adapt. I'm in a company that, at first, blacked out most AI tooling. There's obvious security concerns with how much data is being captured by the tool, so I can't hate on a company for wanted to wanting to evaluate a new tool. There are 2 approaches you can take (probably more but I'm not feeling very creative atm). 1. Whine and mumble under your breath with passive aggressive comments. 2. Develop an adoption plan and schedule a presentation with a decision maker. My approach: We surveyed current approved tooling, clearly laid out the risk/rewards, then proposed a security training plan for engineers to complete prior to being authorized to use it. I work for a large defense contractor and they were very receptive to this approach. If you leave it in the hands of departments that have zero stakes, it will just sit on a desk. People are generally enthusiastic to approve things when the boring work is done for them. If your company is completely shutting you down you need to either work on your salesmanship or switch to a company that can get out of their own way.
