    I’ve seen this at my company - but have heard of other companies doing this too. This year, our bonuses are tied to Copilot adoption. Meaning we don’t get paid if enough people aren’t using Copilot.

    I’m not prone to conspiracy theories, but I’m positive that CEOs are getting together and pushing the message that AI adoption needs to increase.

      I’m just wasting tokens asking it for jokes or a news summary or just saying hello because there’s a metric for daily GenAI usage.

      Occasionally I will use it for real, but mostly it’s just a waste. Wonder how much it’s costing the company.

        Going to start asking copilot for daily positive news. Finally a worthwhile use of it!

        I like to do stuff like feed it emojis and say “recreate this but holding a knife” then put them in group chats instead of regular emojis. It keeps my usage metrics high.

        Glad we’re using all of our water for this.
