A lot of big companies are basically forcing you to be Bill. They try to track AI usage, and make sure everyone is using it. Because they invested so much in AI, they need to force it, to make it a self fulfilling prophecy. It’s truly one of the dumbest things to behold.

So it's enshittification, but they've doused the whole shebang with rocket fuel and set it ablaze.

If the company also trains AI, I'm guessing they're also forcing use to gather training data. I.e. tracking feedback, corrections, etc.

Nightmarish. Can you make the AI write up new documentation every time you want to push a change, so it looks like you're using it frequently but you still get to write the code yourself?

I would love letting LLM deal with documentation. It's the bane of my existence.

Tried that, result was shitty documentation and as someone who reads other peoples documentation for a living I will NOT subject other people or my future self to that.
