This may be too obscure for most #AI casuals.

I use AI mostly for coding assistance...

...and when I say "assistance" it's the machine writing for me and I do a lot of yelling.

I've noted that often the AI UPDATES rather than REWRITES the code, but in the process of Update, it makes more errors. So I asked to compare the resource load on each approach and the results are interesting.

Not least being that the engine knows the load requirements, in the past, it was #guardrailed against divulging that information.

Cost analysis:

Failed update + required rewrite = ~1.5x - 2x the resources

Successful update sequence = ~0.8x resources

Direct rewrite = 1x resources (baseline)
