Goodhart's Law states, "Once a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

In this case, it wasn't even a good measure to begin with and became a target because of the ๐Ÿ’ฉ brained business idiots that run everything.

Now these companies are racing to see who can throw the most money into the fire to show that they're the most zealous and deferential to the AI cultist management that have taken over all software companies.
