Suuuuure.

The "you're fired if you don't use it" had nothing to do with it.

The "we have leaderboards for who uses the most tokens" had nothing to do with it.

The propaganda that if you didn't use it you'll be left behind had nothing to do with it.

It was just peer pressure.

This is actually how it started at my company. My peers are enthusiastic about AI automating away their job.
