“Every single Monday was called ‘AI Monday,’” Vaughan said, with his mandate for staff that they could work only on AI. “You couldn’t have customer calls; you couldn’t work on budgets; you had to only work on AI projects.” He said this happened across the board, not just for tech workers, but also for sales, marketing, and everybody else at IgniteTech. “That culture needed to be built. That was the key.”

Use it as a dumb worklog sometimes. Tell it what you were already gonna do and ask if it would do the same. It's almost always gonna agree. Then just ignore it. If somebody AI obsessed pulls out the full logs they're gonna see you're doing what the AI said was good. (basically Inception, lol)
