Gale Sheppy / Swiffer (She/They)Mar 10

I am beyond stressed with work/AI stuff and literally have absolutely nobody I can vent to.

I understand that venting is a completely useless exercise. I understand that this is going to accomplish nothing, and will only add negativity to an otherwise very positive social media space.

I need to create an account with no followers so I can just scream into the void.

My whole day is just arguing with GenAI now. And I'm having to ask it to clarify why it made a decision and then fact check it and then ask it to re-evaluate.

@swiftfoxfire we're expected to use it at work, too. We've done a lot of documentation to establish guardrails when using it within our repo and it has helped yield more useful results. Has your team built anything out for that or are they just having you blindly throw things at AI?

@Zielfox We're provided Gemini with a bunch of guidelines, documentation, etc. But it's making some assumptions about things and even recommending products from vendors that don't actually exist, just to meet a specific requirement.

@swiftfoxfire wow, wild. It's been decent for us, but it took a lot of work to get there and we're constantly adjusting the guardrails.

Perhaps that stuff needs more adjustments, or perhaps the asks are too broad. We don't leave it to make any architecture decisions at all. We specify the design and it tends to stay within that.

Disclaimer: I hate that we have to use it, especially because on my team, dev speed has never been the bottleneck. I don't know that we've gained all that much by adding it, other than satisfying the PE firm that owns us.
