Rohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai · XUber首席运营官Andrew Macdonald对当前AI应用热潮中的“tokenmaxxing”现象提出质疑。他指出，当公司高调宣称上季度25%的代码提交由AI驱动或token使用量显著增长时，这些亮眼数据并未转化为实际的产品成功。他询问资深工程负责人是否有原本搁置的项目因此得以推进，得到的答复是否定的。这与Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi此前描绘的乐观图景形成对比：后者曾表示90%的工程师使用AI，其中头部30%的用户生产力获得前所未有的提升，并预测未来AI智能体和GPU算力的投资回报率将超越人类工程师。
Uber's COO： AI tokenmaxxing still has not shown it can reliably create successful features.
"When you hear companies talking about， hey， 25% of code commits over the last quarter were AI-driven， or our token usage went from x to y… and it's amazing… but then you sometimes go and you talk to your senior engineering leaders and you're saying， okay， how many projects that were on the cutting room floor got moved above the line because of the productivity gains… That link is not there yet."
