At Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce and other large companies, devs are purposefully burning tokens (and money!) to inflate their AI usage and hit AI usage metrics which they treat as targets.
Feeding machines to get a pat on the head from the bosses is seriously fucked.
If the tokens are the company’s property and not yours, I guess it’s no different from paying for things with play money. (Or maybe the fake money they burn for the dead in China would be a better analogy.)
