    Treat an AI like the idiot intern without any references you just hired.

    My company is in the process of pivoting hard to Claude after 50yrs of doing virtually everything themselves and rolling their own versions of already-existing software, and this is almost verbatim how I’ve described to others what it feels like to use it.

    It feels like cajoling an intern to understand a job for which they have some average skill but zero motivation, and they only want to do the bare minimum, so you spend all the time you could be doing your job holding their hand through basic tasks.

    It’s fucking annoying.

      negl sounds like you need to spend some time writing good documentation. May as well do it in the form of Skills files so humans and bots both are more quickly able to be useful in your org.
