Hell, AI is probably -1x for me because I refuse to give up and do it myself instead of trying to get the robots to do it. I mean, writing code is for the monkeys, right? Anyhoo... I find that there are times where you have to really get in there and question the robot's assumptions as they will keep making the same mistake over and over until you truly understand what it is they are actually trying to accomplish. A lot of times the desired goal and their goal are different enough to cause extreme frustration as one tends to think the robot's goal should perfectly align with the prompt. Once it fails a couple times then the interrogation begins since we're not making any further progress, obviously. Case in point, I have this "Operational Semantics" document, which is correct, and a peg VM, which is tested to be correct, but if you combine the two one of the operators was being compiled incorrectly due to the way backtracking works in the VM. After Claude's many failed attempts we had a long discussion and finally tracked down the problem to be something outside of its creative boundaries and it needed one of those "why don't you do it this way..." moments. Sure, I shouldn't have to do this but that's the reality of the tools and, like they say, "a good craftsman never blames his tools".
