Give it a custom sandbox and context for the work, so it has no opportunity to roam around when not required. AI agentic coding is hugely wasteful of context and tokens in general (compared to generic chat, which is how most people use AI), there's a whole lot of scope for improvement there.
This is exactly what I (and many others) kept trying to tell the pro-AI folk 18 months ago: there is no value to jumping on the product early because any "experience" you have with it is easily gained by newcomers, and anything you learned can easily be swapped out from under you anyway.
I also don't understand the "pro-AI" phrase. It's a tool, it brings results. I'm not pro-car when I drive to work.
To be clear, the people I were talking about were not referring to the value, but the experience in using these tools.

Would you prefer the phrase "AI-boosters"?

AI-booster folk? :)
Could be; I mean, we differentiate between people who use cars as a tool and call enthusiasts "petrol-heads".
I use AI daily, but I certainly wouldn't consider myself either pro-AI or an AI-booster.
(Naming is hard)
It does seem like a cynical attempt to make more money.
