There’s your problem. You’re trying to be responsible instead of trying to burn tokens so you can have your name on top of some leaderboard for most wasteful AI users.

The perverse incentives created by these AI leaderboards are crazy.

  • The leaderboards are dumb, but I understand the point of telling people not to worry about tokens and just use it. They are trying to get people to try it, to discover new uses without asking “is this worth testing”. It’s basically early R&D budget. Eventually these companies will decide it’s time to transition into efficient usage.

    • Yes I love that my employer says go wild with it. But I feel like the leaderboard is dumb.
