Told my job would be replaced by AI. Then asked to help develop the AI.

The company was transparent about it, which is unusual. They said clearly that AI would replace many functions, including parts of my function. Then, in the same month, my team was asked to participate in a pilot programme for an AI tool that would eventually do what we do. I was asked to help assess the tool's outputs, identify gaps, provide feedback on edge cases. In effect, I was being asked to train my replacement and to do so accurately and thoroughly, because my continued employment — for now — depended on being useful. I am not being coy about what this is. I know what this is. I'm doing it anyway because I have a family and I'd rather have time to find something else. But I want someone to know that this is what it looks like from the inside.
