What about developers who are required to use AI as part of their job?

There are plenty of companies that track metrics on AI usage. Big names like Amazon come up of course, but even some small companies require employees to use it.

So to answer your question: a lot of people, regardless of if they want to.

And no, they can't all quit and get a new job.

Wells Fargo implemented this requirement. A person I know was reprimanded for not using enough AI. I think some of these companies are trying to get people to load their code into models to make them good enough to replace this same people. A lot of this is coming from folks who know nothing about coding.
