Being cautious in order to keep one's IP and job safe during an economic downturn isn't shortsighted, it's playing the long game. AI isn't going anywhere, and waiting and seeing how the legalities shake out and how companies will want to consume this internally is the smart play.

Jumping onto a new technology with unknown risks and getting burned is shortsighted.

The "long game" becomes short if your organisation is out-executed by a competitor who isn't as conservative in approach.

I'm not sure what company you're working for where generating code that may or may not be correct and needs careful analysis is somehow increasing your coding velocity to the point where it's trumping higher level thinking or protecting your IP or not getting into expensive lawsuits. I would like to hear more.

I feel like there's a big lack of understanding of how the world works here.
