Selling my soul

Well…I guess it was only a matter of time. I held out for as long as I could, but today my boss made it very clear that I would be out of a job, if I keep refusing to use generative A.I. There’s no wiggle room, there’s no reasoning, there’s no escape… I listened to a long monologue of his vision for the company and the people working here. He’s a good talker and while I’ll admit that he did manage to move me from my stance of “absolutely no A.I.” to “maybe a little” … he obviously had some big help too. Ultimately, I need to keep the lights on and my family housed and fed. I don’t think there’s anybody else still left out there that would hire me without forcing A.I. down my throat. So this is it. This will go down as the day when I sold my soul. I am sad, but I’m weirdly okay with it. I haven’t given my final answer yet. I wanted to sleep on it first and talk to my wife. But I’ve had a few hours to think and right now I’m pretty sure that I’ve already made the decision. I wonder how…
