I let an AI with "20 years experience" architect my project and it was a disaster

We’ve all seen the "AI is taking our jobs" posts. So, I decided to put it to the test. I found a "Senior AI Dev" (who claimed to have 20 years of experience in game dev and wikis) and let it take the wheel.

The result? It spent 2 hours debugging a for loop that wasn't even broken.

📉 The "Expectation vs. Reality"

  • Expectation: Clean, optimized, modular code.
  • Reality: A chaotic mess of nested loops and the AI gaslighting me into thinking i++ was a security risk.

🛠️ How I actually fixed it (The Human Way)

After the AI had its mid-life crisis, I actually had to get to work. I've been building out some projects on GitHub that (ironically) work way better than the "senior" advice I got today.

If you want to see code that actually compiles without a 2-hour therapy session, check out what I'm working on:

Currently featured in my repos:

  • Project 1: A 3D model of Ancient Baghdad with orbitcontrols.
  • Project 2: An encrypted P2P messaging service that uses direct browser-to-browser communication, bypassing central servers for total privacy.

Let's settle this:

What’s the dumbest thing an AI (or a "Senior" dev) has ever told you? Let’s swap horror stories in the comments.
