When I've heard folks pushing back on AI and/or refusing to even try it, I've used basically this same argument that capitalism makes widespread AI usage inevitable -- and you really do need to learn to use this new tool in order to stay competitive, or to at least understand how it will affect your job and/or your life.

When I run across software developers who refuse to try a new type of tool or service... I am always a bit shocked: our industry is built on learning new stuff all the time, after all.

I was very much a skeptic when ChatGPT first appeared but once Microsoft announced they would integrate AI into their search engine (Bing) and later into the O/S as a whole (Copilot), I started to learn how to use it since it was inevitable for my life. And, yes, now I find Copilot adds to my productivity in several areas.
