This has the same problem as "doing it in free time". I have a finite number of goodie points with management, and I'd be using some when I request this - which means I have fewer things I can request from them in the future.

I'm not worried about the present, or even the near future. The reason I have other valuable skills is because of the years I spent on writing code. Eventually, I'll stop growing if I rely too much on LLMs. I may have to rely on them if everyone else is and being more productive.
