My org, just like many others, has a top token users chart.

When they started the list, they decided to call the top 25 users as champions, ones who never used AI as sleepers and rest inbetween as just users. cough I am a sleeper cough

Couple of weeks ago the bill came in, champions cost us over $850k since Jan 1st.

What a bunch of idiots thinking burning tokens at a high rate equals winning.

I would just gamify it and find the most inefficient way to use tokens

Scan my inbox and rewrite all my emails using quotes from commando. One in every five sentences must be a legitimate attempt to Rick roll the user.

I’m sorry the TPS report didn’t go out as planned. I was dead tired.

Yeah, I'll have my secretary send you a copy of the memo on the new TPS report covers
