   One of the top threads on the ClaudeAI subreddit right now: "I am done with this shit" https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1wm5c21/i_am_done_with_this_shit/

   Curious to see just how much of the thread on a quite pro-genAI subreddit is people commiserating on the exhaustion of their work turning primarily into tedium and poor engineering.

   Bonus in that the Claude AI summary bot in the thread says:

   > The Rise of the Meat Proxy: You're not an engineer anymore, you're an "organic vessel designed to press enter." Or, as one user so poetically put it, you're just a condom between Claude and your production server getting fucked. Your only real job is to be the warm body they can blame when the AI slop inevitably breaks.

     @cwebber hell is other people &c &c, even if you want to use the tools in more pragmatic ways you'll be drained by the coworkers that have turned off their brains, and the hiring situation is the worst I have ever seen

     @johnlogic I don't think I really want any sewer content regardless of what I put in

     #LargeLanguageModel #ArtificialIntelligence is like a sewer: what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.
