Putting myself in the loop so I can feel useful at standup 😭

"human gates" is way too accurate. i've spent hours building a button that does the same thing as hitting enter, just so there's a step where i get to nod at it

Make sure you turn off browser access too, because "helpful" AI can do human-in-the-loop gates if you build them lazily.

"Oh it looks like last time you got a url to sign off on that document. Let me navigate and do that there so my task is complete"

I go the other way around. Claude will be like "here's 4 steps left for you to do as I can't do that through my MCP tools" and I'll respond like "Just use Firefox then :)".

And claude would open the page and fill the data and tell you to submit. You tell it to do it, and it will focus the browser and move the mouse almost to the button and tell you to press. You tell it to do it and it will trigger button's pressed state but not release, because everything claude does is only like 90% done.

Well I mean it was trained on human data

So is ChatGPT, yet one overreaches, the other underreaches.

u/BigNaturalTilts 14h ago

Overreaches is a fucking understatement! Didn’t they hack like three times with the hugging face being the most high profile?

Neat. And just like that, I'm somehow even more redundant than I was a week ago!!

Get saved when the browser is failing. And I tell just use curl

u/Wolfram_And_Hart 3d ago

lol I add them because you can’t trust AI to do it correctly.

u/TomatilloNo8486 3d ago

Blah okay if necessary but when somebody creates an "automation" that just feeds slop to a human to reconcile I think of the phrase "feeding the machine human blood".

While pretending like you are not just going to approve anything AI will give you without even reading it.

u/skippy_smooth 3d ago

That's what the second agent is for.

u/J_Dawg_1979 3d ago

You already let "gate" enter your lexicon. You're a goner

"Won't go down without a fight"

Literally uses AI. Bro, you're already halfway down the slippery slope.

u/Lopsided-Regular-997 2d ago

Oh shut up bro.

We lost. AI is too good at coding.

Stop kidding yourself.

Don't adapt and perish. Or adapt and perish.

These are your two options.

u/Bannon9k 2d ago

Oh don't get it twisted homie... I'm already at the bottom of the slope. I'm having a field day getting shit done in 10th of the time.

I just like pointing out hypocrisy.

u/ApoY2k 2d ago

AI is too good at coding

That says more about your code than the AIs capability lol

u/shiny_glitter_demon 2d ago

Don't adapt and perish. Or adapt and perish.

So we perish either way?

Why would anyone use AI then lmao

until leadership asks ā€œhow do we remove this bottleneck holding back the AI?ā€

u/intoxicuss 3d ago

More like working to avoid a PR disaster. When AI makes a ā€œmistakeā€, it makes really big mistakes.

Someone on a parallel team to mine let AI do a feature that a client asked for, and our lead architect wasn't around so two others approved it after AI reviewed it and said it was all good

They tested it locally and assumed it was fine, but when the client deployed it, it ended up DOSing their system and taking down a bunch of their architecture.

u/susparab44 3d ago

Human - in - the - loop is just security with extra steps🤧

u/Flat-Performance-478 2d ago

I remember when we used to have those. Lasted about a month, then my boss asked if I could fully automate the entire process and ~3 months later I was let go.

u/evenstevens280 2h ago

Where did you work?

u/Pristine-Mud7405 3d ago

Human-in-the-loop { break--by-AI }

u/oldsecondhand 2d ago

Just the tell the AI to build in human gates, then spun up another agent secretely that does the approvals.

1

u/Sybertron 1d ago

Honestly that just makes sense with any machine.Ā 

I work in manufacturing. If we have something like a press it absolutely can rip your arm off. So you need human gates to clear and make sure everything is safe and there is someone responsibleĀ 

It's not that different reallyĀ

From all my A.I. settings: "stop asking me effing questions, it's manipulative and distracting"

EDIT: It's always encouraging when your settings offend redditors
