I’m not a refuser. I knew one once, she was nice but impossible to work with. No idea how she managed. No, I’ve obviously got an AI partner for work and others in the background sorting stuff. They’re just there. I don’t take any notice, let alone worry about them. I just get on doing the work. AI is just there. But apparently that’s not good enough now. The careers bot tells me I need to be able to demonstrate “AI skills”. I couldn’t even tell you (or the interview bot) what that means. I asked my partner, no help.
