Refusing to use AI tools or output. Sabotage!

Definitely guilty of this. Refused to use AI generated output when it was clearly hallucinated BS from start to finish (repeatedly!).

I work in the field of law/accounting/compliance, btw.

Even better to do the correspondence in written.
That way you can show others (and hope that someone cares) what you rejected and what they were trying to push.

This may only be a problem if the people in charge don't understand why it's wrong. "But it sounds correct!" etc.

Not a problem.

If it manages to stay in history, hopefully someone after the next dark ages will read it and give you vindication.
