Yup. Cost for copilot at my work just went up and the tone changed from, “Use it everywhere!” to, “Use it where it makes sense.” I mean, that should’ve always been the guidance but as usual the vendors gave them a good show with their shiny new tech, execs came in their pants, and the engineers were expected to make magic happen.
Maybe one day those who don’t rely on AI would be seen as more valuable since you know, they don’t need an expensive tool and produce the same output, probably even better since it’s slop free.
Then I realize that our society has made me value people in some shape or form by their ability to produce stuff, and that’s the real tragedy here

My work went from unlimited copilot tokens to $15 per person per month. It’s effectively useless for real work now lol
My teammates who got hooked on copilot are livid, it’s great
This gives me so much hope.
