My team has been told we need to set “AI‑related goals” and start using internal tools that aren’t all that great. I’m not anti‑AI—I love Copilot for small coding tasks—but a lot of these mandates feel like doing AI for the sake of it. Which tools have legitimately improved your workflow? Have you run into company policies that block access to external models because of IP concerns? How do you push back when management wants metrics that don’t line up with how the work actually gets done?

Hey fishies! I’m looking to take a leap into the remote world. I am a Sr. Graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦.
