I run a small (5-employees) tech firm. We ignored AI for the first couple of years. Last year we started paying the basic Cursor subscription for our employees. We encouraged them to try it out a bit for a couple of weeks however they saw fit to evaluate if they found it useful for their workflows but we said we didn’t mind at all if they ended up deciding to adopt it long term or not. We also stressed we would continue reviewing code the same way so they would have to take responsibility for reviewing the AI’s output. I started as the only coder in the company and I review every PR so I am extremely familiar with all our codebase and I haven’t found it very useful personally but the people that joined more recently say it can be useful to point them towards parts of the code they are not familiar with yet. Right now each one uses it as a tool freely however they prefer and I don’t usually ask them about it, same way I don’t ask how often they use the “find and replace” function in VS Code.
