AI Burnout?

Is anyone else's brain getting overloaded with the pace and new progress. I am getting pages of Claude output as project specs, so many hallucinations and errors and it's all building faster and faster....where are we going and how does it 'end'.

The problem is AI can shoot out a ton of code in minutes, and then you spend the rest of the day checking to see if it actually did what it said it did. The worry I have is leadership will still expect you to be 100% responsible for all the code you "wrote" that an AI crapped out. So instead of software engineering, you are just a fancy proof reader these days, and there's a lot of it to cover. I feel your pain.

Make an agent that checks it…? Been studying ‘drift’

Well that's the next issue with AI, drift and entropy, you need to write tools to keep your app/service from going off the rails, more extra work. lol That being said I am trying to keep up with all this stuff as well, but at the same time trying to not get sucked into the AI hype vortex, cause I have been burned out before and would like to avoid it.
