I'm willing to bet that only a fraction of that spend was work task related.
If my productivity (and therefore my job) were measured not by results but by amount of tokens I use, you can bet I'm gonna burn tokens for absolutely everything during my work shift. Even if it's just asking the chatbot what time is it every second.
Exactly.
It may be so, but that tells me even if they wanted to use it for productive work, it'd still cost them about that much.
