It's been creeping slowly into my workplace over the past year. I've gotten by without using it myself so far, but there's been a soft push by management for developers to use AI in their daily work. Experienced devs with a measured approach to AI ("it's not a silver bullet, but incredibly and increasingly useful") are given a platform, while AI skeptics are quietly ignored.
Management says they don't plan on replacing engineers with AI, but it's hard not to get that impression when a draft for an upcoming company AI meeting has a heading titled "A Bigger Department Without Hiring a Bigger Department".
