What was the damned if you don't in this scenario? Seems more like damned if do, best if you don't in this situation.
I don't know but implication the other poster is making is "a human can write 2 articles, a Ai can write 5, I'm being asked for 5 which is impossible. I can use Ai and risk trusting it or not meet my required outputs and also get fired."
I made up those numbers but that's the accusation. You are damned if you use the Ai to meet your goals. You are damned if you don't meet your goals.
My wife is an accountant. She went to a seminar today where they were told to start using AI or get out of the way. They were shown an AI that can produce consolidated annual accounts and financial statements in a few minutes, that it takes her and the auditors a month to produce. And they look very good! The company is unlikely to pay her and wait for the quality reports she has been producing for years. She's on notice: start prompting the AI or move on. The AI promoters are going to run her and me and probably you into the ground and walk over us all, as they move on to their glorious future.
LOL there's no "glorious future", they're just going to rat fuck themselves, because those accounts are going to be riddled with errors.
