My organization has noticed that some people's output has gone way up since they started using AI, while some people's has not. I imagine output is measured by LOC and MRs, since we are bad at metrics. There's now an effort to figure out why the laggards aren't using their AI "well" enough. I've seen some of the increased output that was sprayed at my team without consent, it was work that superficially looked good but on closer investigation did not solve the problem it was intended to. All that work has to be redone. The rework is being done quietly, so as not to draw management ire for a lack of "productivity". It's all so tiresome.

This is a bad idea - you’re actively contributing to the problem by hiding the negative effects.

Don’t even think about starting that work until you’ve created bug tickets for as much of it as you can, and bright then to management’s attention. Management then needs to figure out priorities for doing that work and whether a change in approach is needed.
