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.

My whole brain is just static right now. I am so far beyond burned out that I have never been closer to just turning in my badge and walking out and dealing with the consequences of finding a new job.

The thing is, it's like this everywhere in the field right now. Every engineer I know is spectacularly overworked, on understaffed and underfunded teams, being bombarded with emerging tech every 24 hours, and pivoting multiple times an hour to keep up.

@swiftfoxfire If you can; do your job at your reasonable pace within reasonable hours. If they fire you for that(which to be clear is them failing you, and not you doing anything wrong) you can likely collect unemployment to (greatly) help bridge the gap. Look into unemployment.

I don't like "AI" stuff much at all so I feel you not wanting to even bother with it but then having to :-/
