They were sacked for using AI wrong, not for using AI. Tool use was a human skill long before AI.
They were sacked for vibe-working, which is how AI is supposed to be used if you listen to some business hype. Of course it is not how it's supposed to be used according to people who actually know the current situation.
The hype is both:

* AI has made skilled workers obsolete, and

* AI must be handled only with the utmost care by skilled workers or else it will doom humanity.

It reminds me of this Far Side comic.
