With all due respect, "wow this is cool, I wonder what it'll turn into" is basically the mandatory baseline stance to take. I'm lucky that's where I'm still basically at, because anyone in a technical position who shows even mild reticence beyond that is likely to be unable to hold a job in the face of their bosses' frothing enthusiastic optimism about these technologies
Drive-by comment: it's not so bad, here. I work with a few peers who've proven to be evangelists with much stronger social skills. When the proposition comes up, I ask how my ass should be cleaned, too. Thankfully: the bosses haven't heard/don't care.
Varying degrees of 'force' at play; I'm lucky that nobody significant is minding my [absence of] LLM usage. Just some peers excited to do more for the same or, arguably, less reward. Remember: we're now all in an arms race. Some of us had a head start.
How crass I respond to the suggestion depends on their delivery/relevance in my process/product, of course. May be placated like a child with a new toy... or the gross question to, hopefully, express the suggestion isn't wanted, needed, or welcome.
Faced with a real mandate, I'd feed it garbage while looking for new work. Willing to make the bet I can beat enough machines while people are still involved at all.
Is it that bad out there? Yeah, I don't think I could last in a job that tries to force these tools into my workflow.
