I remember talking about this at the time. It did get some attention, although the industry was quick to blame other things instead, like AI.

Meanwhile I would argue that most efficiency gains from AI are outweighed by the cost of false positives wasting time and energy, learning prompt engineering, and other testing/fiddling adding overhead.

You're not arguing against anything I've said given I said blame, as in, scapegoating AI for mismanagement and fundamental changes.
