Yeah no. If my boss comes to tell me that from now on my "productivity" will be measured in token usage rather than actual "production", you can bet I will use agents for every fucking thing. Hell, I'll even make a desktop clock that works by asking the IA what time is it every milisecond and then updating the time on screen every time. I'm gonna burn tokens till you regret it.
If after this happens, the rules of billing change and my boss starts getting charged per token usage instead of a flat charge per month, that's not my problem; until my productivity stops being measured in token usage, you are gonna pay dumb money for your dumbness.
