I think the issue is that there's usually competing targets here. From the top they wanted to see use of copilot. But direct reports likely expected the same performance.

So are you going to a) do it the way you've done it for 10 years and know will deliver on time or b) ask hal9000 for help potentially actually slowing you down, at least initially.

I think there's gains to be made for some jobs in some cases with ai. But most people probably just got on with their work.
