I don't use the agentic workflow (as I am using it for my own personal projects), but if you have ever used it, there is this rush when it solves a problem that you have been struggling with for some time, especially if it gives a solution in an approach you never even considered that it has baked in its knowledge base. It's like an "Eureka" moment. Of course, as you use it more and more, you start to get better at recognizing "Eureka" moments and hallucinations, but I can definitely see how some people keep chasing that rush/feeling you get when it uses 5 minutes to solve a problem that would have taken you ages to do (if at all).

Also, another difference is the stochastic nature of the LLMs. With table saws, CNC machines, and modern 3D printers, you kind of know what you are getting out. With LLMs, there is a whole chance aspect; sometimes, what it spits out is plainly incorrect, sometimes, it is exactly what you are thinking, but when you hit the jackpot, and get the nugget of info that elegantly solves the problem, you get the rush. Then, you start the whole bikeshedding of your prompt/models/parameters to try and hit the jackpot again.

The dopamine rush to fix the issue super quickly, close the ticket, slack / work more?

Absolutely, not understanding why you even ask. Humans are creatures of habits that often dip a bit or more into outright addictions, in one of its many forms.
