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.
I’ve heard about people being encouraged to use AI-Tools and monitoring how they are used is good to identify if people are actually more productive with it, but forcing people to use it seems like forcing a gardener to use an excavator where a shovel would have been a sensible option.
and atleast so far the experience at work is, that stuff that the AI can handle somewhat reliable, we have determinstic tools for. guess working a boring java job has its perks :D

Unfortunately, many jobs skipped this step. The marketing on AI tools should be illegal.
Far too many CEOs are promised that their employees will do more with less, so of course they give their employees more to do and make them use AI, then fire employees because the remaining ones are supposed to be more productive.
Some are. Many aren’t.
Like your comparison, the issue is that it’s not the right tool for every job, nor is it the right tool for everyone. (Whether it’s the right tool for anyone is another question of course, but some people feel more productive with it at times, so I’ll just leave it at that.)
Anyway, I’m fortunate enough to be in a position where AI is only strongly encouraged, but not forced. My friend was not though. Then he used it because he had to, despite it being useless to him. Then he, a chunk of his management chain, and half his department were fired. Nobody was hired to replace them.
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.
Pretty sure I’ve read Microsoft is/was requiring their employees to use it. I assume other companies that develop AI, like Google, also force their employees to use it.
who gets fired if they don’t use garbage generators?

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