My favorite version of this is where someone building a system creates a workflow, then hands the system off to another, bigger team And that team treats that workflow like it's gospel because they didn't build it Meanwhile it's built that way so I could avoid worrying about working weekends

It's Just Math

I literally warned y'all about exactly this kind of harmful outcome from GPT integrations, & even told you *why/how* it'd happen.
