So I ran into my first genAI coding junk yesterday when I was on a call with my boss and as a solution to a problem we were talking he said, "hold on let me ask Gemini."

I felt my soul die a little bit at that point.

But the fun part is that Gemini first didn't provide a good answer.

And then on the second go it also didn't provide a good answer.

And then on the third attempt we decided to table the issue for the moment because prompt coding on a call was taking longer than I think he expected.

I really disliked that experience.

Hmm, was the boss hoping to turn that into a "why do I even pay you" moment?
