This is like measuring a carpenter’s work output by how much they use their hammer, not how much gets actually built. I hope every company that does this sorta bullshit goes belly up.

    Using their hammer would be the tools they use to actually code. This is more like measuring a carpenter’s work by how often they get advice from the workers at Home Depot.

    Yes.

    But I do like that, by this measure, I have attained mastery of plumbing, woodworking, landscaping, and have become a master gardener.

    It strikes me that it's probably because of all the visibity it offers them into what people are doing and drives them to interact with the chatbot instead of each other. Not everything is about having productive workers. A lot of it is about finding people who are compliant suck ups who won't question the boss no matter what and eliminating anyone with a half a brain cell and an ounce of class solidarity.
