Unfortunately, many jobs skipped this step. The marketing on AI tools should be illegal.
Far too many CEOs are promised that their employees will do more with less, so of course they give their employees more to do and make them use AI, then fire employees because the remaining ones are supposed to be more productive.
Some are. Many aren't.
Like your comparison, the issue is that it's not the right tool for every job, nor is it the right tool for everyone. (Whether it's the right tool for anyone is another question of course, but some people feel more productive with it at times, so I'll just leave it at that.)
Anyway, I'm fortunate enough to be in a position where AI is only strongly encouraged, but not forced. My friend was not though. Then he used it because he had to, despite it being useless to him. Then he, a chunk of his management chain, and half his department were fired. Nobody was hired to replace them.
