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.

You can get pretty far by mostly just claiming to use it "when it makes sense" but you do meet people who are very pushy about it. Hoping that calms down as knowledge of the downsides becomes more widespread
