Imagine worker that did loop of "you're absolutely right -> same fuckup again" multiple days every week, wasting time of whoever told them to do the task

They'd be out of company after a week

I do want to fire Claude at this point and switch to Codex. Unfortunately the guy with the purse strings is ride or die full Claude psychosis and our business can’t afford to just buy anything and everything for funsies.

Such workers exist. AI is cheaper and faster than such workers, though, so management might still like them. Ugh.

That depends on the company. I worked at an S&P 500 company that muddled along like this. They still make critical software for local and state governments.
