You can always simply lie and say that you get great results when you send it huge amounts of text and really spend time to correct what it's getting wrong over the session.

If you can make it sound like genuine advice and enthusiasm (that you're simply wrong about), well congrats, you look like a real team player, and you cause anyone who believes you to also believe that those delicious productivity gains are just another few thousand yeeted tokens away.

Your failure to demonstrate such, should it ever come to that, can result in something like "I swear they made changes, they keep doing that silently. This used to work." Which points to a huge and real problem, while covering thine ass.

This isn't how I operate at work, to be clear, but I'm in a way different situation. Sooner your org realizes there is no mythic Shangri-La to be found, the better for all, I figure.
