This feels like a way for them to say fuck generative AI, but also, hey investors, don’t pull out we can find something else to do with it I guess…
Ultimately, if you’re a publicly traded company, the calls to “use AI and use it now” are too strong for tech companies to completely ignore, so it’s at least good that they’re drawing a line from an ethical and artistic standpoint. Once the bubble pops, they can probably take a “I told you so” victory lap.

To me it sounds more like them saying fine we’ll hire real artists, but we won’t hire real devs.
They’ll still have devs. Maybe fewer devs and no junior devs.
…which will suck for the company when they do their next round of layoffs.
If they’re forcing their devs to use AI, then they don’t have devs, they have slop wranglers.
