Probably just lying to their boss. I have an AI obsessed boss and regularly lie about how much I use it because productivity is actually measured entirely by their perception of you and not by any real metric.

    I've tried explaining this to me peers that just quietly bust their asses while noisy jerks (including me, but to a lesser extent than most) get perceived as high performers because they engage with their bosses and work on things that have high visibility.

    And their bosses are just lying to their bosses, and it's lying and yessing all up and down the line, and the rest of us out here just have to live with whatever The Machine pukes out for us.
