I swear tg I hate my job so much now because of AI.

I am desperate to get out it. I can't stand it. Every day I am tearing my hair out by evening and it is bc of AI. It’s completely infuriating and depressing and demoralizing. It is not making anything more efficient it is making it so much worse.

I actually mostly liked my job - or at least, liked it enough, for the compensation - for the past 19 years, all the way up til this year. Claude makes me want to shoot myself in the head. I now have to spend hours almost every day explaining to clients why what Claude told them is wrong and/or completely unreasonable and make it even less likely they’ll close their deal or settle their dispute. They are paying me by the hour to explain to them why the list of irrelevant and context-less bullshit Claude gave them is wrong. For some reason, Claude repeatedly does not understand certain things and makes the same goddamn mistakes and sends people people on the same futile quests, every time.

Like trying to demand non-dilutible equity when they're a pissant minority investor in a huge enterprise (seriously people, equity is always dilutible…unless you’ve put in way more money than every other investor ever has or will, such that the whole enterprise collapses if you go away and you get to dictate terms everyone else has no choice to abide by, IT IS ALWAYS DILUTIBLE, THAT IS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND ALWAYS THE CASE). Claude is making them all think they're big swinging dicks when they're not.

I cannot stand it, I hate it I hate it I HATE IT!!! Complete ruination of a profession…wish the clients would cut me out of it entirely and just let their respective Claudes argue directly and endlessly with each other forever.

I have no interest in arguing with Claude. This is not what I'm doing. Kill me now.

I am done with this shit when this fiscal year ends. It's too demoralizing. It’s MORE work, and more pointless than ever. I can't hold my head up making a living talking to people’s Claudes. I'll be a fucking dog walker, that would be better.

I'm sure Claude is great when used for something other than trying to argue with someone else’s Claude. It's complete shit for adversarial situations and will just dispute itself over endless pointless details for infinity. Literally the worst year of my life, entirely bc of AI and how much it has fucked my job. Not bc it cuts down my work, it has not. I’m on track to make more $$ this year than I ever have. All for bullshit hours doing “work” that never should have happened, responding to people’s five pages of bullshit Claude output.

Talked to the guy who was a summer clerk with me yesterday. We shared an office together 20 years ago, when we were students. He left private practice to become a law professor 11 years ago. Easiest, best job ever. He’s tenured. He put in his notice and quit this May. He finds it too demoralizing teaching students when 90% aren't paying attention and just do everything through AI. Ruined the whole thing. What's the fucking point. 🫠🔫
