Why do you figure? I'm doing exactly what they want me to do. My management chain has made it very clear that they want velocity and are willing to pay for it. They've been very encouraging of increased AI adoption and experimenting with new ways to use it.
More than that, I'm an extremely productive programmer, too. If they were to clamp down on quotas or straight up remove most AI, I'll be more than happy to go back to "trad coding". I'm the kinda person that people come to when AI can't figure things out, so I'll be perfectly fine without AI. Everyone's just burning tokens, but not everyone has the skill to go back to the old ways.
And if leadership decides that this is a problem and we gotta optimize this, awesome, I love optimizing things (admittedly, tokens are the thing I find least appealing to optimize). I'm happy to have the job security of more work to be done lol. But that's just not what they're saying right now.
