yeah, it's easy to regulate, but the psychological impact isnt.

You spend 3 days making AI do something, and now what, you're suppose to spend 2 days trying to keep up with whatever it's done? That's like if your coworker's projects, every week, were handed to you on Thursday and you're told to finish them up.

No matter how smart you are, the bootstrap of new knowledge is impossible.

So sure, it's easy to turn the spigot off at arbitrary dollar values, but you can't just turn the worker's mindset off.

Workflow is valuable because of how in the flow it is.
