    I’m yet to see it actually be used by anyone.

    None of your programmers are using genAI to prototype, analyze errors or debug faster? Either they are seriously missing out or you’re not following.
    I think the “AI will revolutionize everything” hype is stupid, but I definitely get a lot of added productivity when coding with it, especially when discovering APIs. I do have to double-check, but overall I’m definitely faster than before. I think it’s good at reducing the mental load of starting a new task too, because you can ask for some ideas and pick what you like from it.

      Mine aren’t. Because it has been mandated by the execs not to because there is a potential security risk in leaking our code to AI servers.

        This. I am stunned to read how many devs are allowed to use a third party tool to send proprietary code to.

          There are company agreements to secure that, we are not using the public websites.

        My company has an agreement with a genAI provider so the data won’t be leaked, we have an internal website, it’s not the public one. We can also add our own data to the model to get results relevant to the company’s knowledge.
