At work we will soon be getting access to agentic AI that parses through our gigantic code base and burns through money for very simple requests.
What would be the best way to maliciously comply with the management’s decision for AI usage to be an everyday thing you are expected to do without getting found out?
My idea is spamming the living shit out of the most expensive models for pointless tasks and then insisting that the result is wrong, and work in the meantime. Nobody can complain if my work is still good, but they will notice that the AI budget is not worth it and stop the hype train.
If it’s anything like my experience, you can just
as AI-written PRs get merged by people who approved it also using AI (pushed by leadership who only communicates to us through the same AI).
The real challenge is in defending your time and energy as bugs pile up from the codebase quality taking a complete nosedive.
