Could you elaborate on that one? It sounds "interesting".
- anonzzzies 3y agoOne of our clients uses jira with gpt4 turbo api assistants; one of the features is that when the ‘implementation team’ (mostly cheap offshore hires in this case) is doing ‘sprint planning’ or standups (in this company’s mismanaged version of agile), the right people are not there, they ‘talk’ to jira and the ai assistant to clear up stuff. From what I have seen, the tasks in jira are written out quite well and gpt does do a (much) better job at one shot ‘understanding’ of the tasks than the team does, however, when the questions go deeper or more technically specific (to their internal systems), it basically loops aka repeats itself every other answer. And so the team will make up something, which is generally not correct, and implement it. Then the next week it will be a bug instead of a feature (for instance) and explained in terms of what to fix instead what to build, which both ai and humans seem to be better at. However the initial ‘loop’ is a nightmare and very dehumanising imho.
- starbugs 3y agoWow. I was afraid there would be substance to this. But this is on another level. Thank you for the explanation. That's really sad.
