Yeah, I also see this occurring.

It's just wildly unprofessional from management, in no particular order my frustrations are:

1. A majority of planning documents from management have become LLM output, which no longer actually matches the desired/required work (but it sure looks nice if you don't have to read all of it).

2. Management undertones are pretty clearly: "Figure out how to use AI to replace yourself."

3. The visibility of leaderboards that promote spend with no relationship to output - ex: employees who spend the most tokens are rewarded, even when there's no equivalent boost in productivity.

My take is that AI is actually a managerial crucible - aka, a great filter for companies with poor management practices and processes.

Company management needs to shift in response to AI more than engineering, and I don't think most are prepared.
