What's stopping someone from just having the AI churn out garbage all day long? Or like, put your AI into plan mode with extra high reasoning and have it churn for 10 minutes to make a microscopic change in some source file. Repeat ad infinium.

In my case it's morality.

Interesting consideration, 'mandates' and all. Definitely in camp 'toss the output', here. I think I'll see 'morality' leaving when $EMPLOYER fires 'professional discretion'... forcing usage and, ultimately, debasing the position.

edit: Peer said it well, IMO. The consequences aren't really yours. Also: something, something, Goodhart's Law.

I would argue that making the company experience the consequences of its choice of metrics / mandates is in fact a moral imperative.
