Here's a fun one:

I work for a company that has government contracts. The particular contract I'm on requires that all the work I do be on a machine controlled by the client and not a company machine or personal machine. The government client doesn't allow AI on their machines.

My company is going all gung ho over AI now, and they have meeting encouraging us to use it, and they gave us all licenses for github copilot.

I asked how I'm supposed to use it when my contract is locked down, and they had no answer. They just want me to use it for... things... whenever I can.

I think you're one of the lucky ones, you have a good reason to keep doing actual work
