My latest take is: AI amplifies human intent. For now at least, it very much needs someone with vision to guide and leverage it, and this can easily be a full time job.
That means OP’s job may be _safer_, because they are getting higher leverage on their time.
It’s their colleague who’s ignoring AI that I see as higher risk.
What’s the fireable offense? Does the boss want to stitch those tools together themselves?
If the output is crap- regardless of the tool- that’s a different story, and one we don’t have enough info to evaluate.
