You've got a point on RTO. Because it's a group behaviour, if you believe it will have positive effects, mandating it could be a way of jumpstarting the group dynamic.
With LLMs, I'm not so sure. Seems more like an individual activity to me. Are some people resistant to new tools, sure. But a good tool does tend to diffuse naturally. I think LLMs are diffusing naturally too, but maybe not as fast as the AI-boosters would like.
The mistake these managers are making is assuming it's a good tool for work that they're not qualified to assess.
