Ask HN: Is Your Company Turning GenAI Usage into a KPI?
The GenAI introduction at the companies I know of has worked like this:
- Management repeats marketing claim of 10-30% performance improvement without question
- An AI advocacy team is formed from mostly junior devs that joined within the last year
- Criticism that GenAI can not help with certain tasks is met with "You are using it wrong"
So far I was just annoyed, not surprised. But now upper management is openly discussing how they can collect usage metrics for individual developers. I have so little faith left that I can not imagine how this could lead to any positive outcomes.
Do you have any personal experience with individual GenAI usage metrics? Will this just blow over?
