I assume they believe in the advantages, to the company, of
using these AI tools. Of adding them to the workflow, training their employees, and understanding quickly how it impacts their space.
If you just wait and all of your competitors have a workforce enabled and equipped with the best tools, you are at a disadvantage. It's being the company that put off computerization or automation when everyone else went wild.
And FWIW, I cannot imagine a programmer, in 2024, that remains dismissive of LLMs or the related tooling. While they are grossly oversold by the LinkedIn crowd, and are still a far ways from so-called "prompt engineers" replacing devs, they're a massive accelerator and "second set of eyes", especially if you're doing varied, novel work.
