Ex dev team lead here.
They asked me "what do you think about the adoption of AI?" and I made the grave mistake of being honest. I talked about potential speedups, but also about all the asset theft, flipping, copyright washing, the steady dilapidation of knowledge and the hole the industry was collectively digging themselves into.
I was let go a few months after. They eventually crashed and burned (still high on the fumes), but not before I managed to endorse/vouch/recommend most of my previous team.
