If they cannot mention it how do you know that they have not taken up the offer?

I agree that people will rationalise being in a losing situation as a winning situation. That does not change the fact that winning situations can exist.

They can't talk about it during the code review. Basically, "no excuses." We talk about what we're doing otherwise.

		That's still gambling, you've just made yourself the house. Developers have to gamble on whether they will be better with AI or without. The no excuses criteria means if they choose AI and it performs well, you both win, if it performs poorly they lose. If they don't choose AI but colleagues do and it performs well, they lose relative to their colleagues. The sensible solution would be solidarity and all reject the offer. Don't play the house.
