Nice example of Goodhart’s law in action.
In a way, this is just a reinvention of line quotas from the past. Neither are good for making something of quality.
At my job they’ve explicitly called out AI Usage and Aptitude as a core requirement for performance. So you are damn right I am juicing numbers up.
You’ll be the first type of human I’d cut off from water and electricity supply if I were in charge of that sort of thing in the future. Sorry. 😢
In that case, you’re failing to diagnose the problem.
The human causing these problems are not the humans doing actual productive work (+/- AI usage).
The ones you look for are the ones who exercise executive control over the entire organization.
Attacking the working class for using AI as directed is like being angry at two knuckles on someone’s right fist because they punched you in the face.
