What would you do if you found out one of your devs was using generative AI for their code without explicit approval? Would it be a problem?

I would shut it down right away, isolated from my net worth and investigate.

If it was part of the design it would be okay.

I have no issues with it - generative ai for code can help rapidly flesh an idea out - or provide an approach otherwise not considered. Either way it still requires a competent engineer to implement and integrate it. It is not a solution all onto itself.

I won’t have an issue, but I would like to know beforehand and wanted it to be documented and explained.

I would not have an issue. Generative AIs are making people's lives easier - why should it not for my devs? What I would like to know is how much code was from the AI vs. the dev, and then look at if I need that dev any more :)

That Dev might not tell you if he knows that you may eliminate him.
