Fuck AI

My company recently announced to the whole IT department that they're contracting with Google to get Gemini for writing code and stuff. They had someone from Google even give a presentation rife with all kinds of propaganda about how much Gemini will "help" us write code. Demoed the IntelliJ integration and everything. I wouldn't say we were "asked" to use it, but we were definitely "encouraged" to." But since then, there's been no information on how actually to use our company-provided Gemini license/integration/whatever. So I don't think anyone's using it yet.

I'd love to tell everyone on my team not to use it, and I am kindof "in charge" of my team a bit. But it's not like there aren't many (too many) levels of management above me. And it's clear they wouldn't have my back if I put my foot down about that. So I've told my team not to commit any code unless they understand it as well as they would had they written it themselves. I figure that's sufficiently noncommittal that the pro-Gemini upper management won't have a problem with it while also (assuming anyone on my team heeds it) minimizing the damage.
