No, don’t be silly, they get ai to spy on you en masse instead. Nobody has to look at anything anymore for it to be actionable.

Absolutely, have warned my juniors of this. Doesn't stop malicious compliance though, I can just prompt and burn tokens with source material from my assigned tickets for no reason perfectly fine.

I look at my colleagues' screens and they're prompting shit like 'restart this program' and 'is [service] running correctly'. I have below average prompt frequency because I know crazy shit like #!/bin/bash and ps aux. It's so goddamn insane.

And to top it all off, my token count is above the average, it's just the prompt count that is low. Got questioned about it earlier this week.

Seeing a lot of the same thing has helped me understand how people are getting the claimed 10x productivity.

I think AI made everyone so dumb that I'm a 10x engineer now.

I tried hard to tokenmaxx one month and couldn’t do it as for most tasks, I’ve already figured out the solution while reading the ticket and vim/emacs-fu is more enjoyable than prompting and waiting. And for other tasks, I just knew the technology to do something with the least amount of effort.

I couldn't agree more. These AI users go on and on about "tooling" but would never take a week to learn how to use vim. These people are addicts. Don't take their words at face value. They are dependent on AI code generation.

To be fair, I've been wanting to move to vim or emacs for a while now, but I've customized and gotten used to my current editor so much that it doesn't feel like a week's task.

Just do it.

AI chatbots, like social media, condition you to become addicted to short-timescale intermittent reinforcement.

You need to break out of the dopamine spell and do something hard.
