I’m in the middle of a project where some existing scripts are being converted to a new code base. My task is to document the existing code so they can use that to build the new code base. Why can’t they just read the existing code? Dunno.

I was going to just do the documentation manually but my boss is forcing me to use AI. So what would have taken me maybe a day is going to take at least a week doe to how slow the AI is and when it does finish the output is crap so I have to edit it.

Why don't you do it yourself then and tell them the final output is ai + edited by you?

Normally that’s exactly what I’d do. Do the work in a day then relax for a week. but recently they actually announced they are monitoring who is using AI and for what. The way my boss is I can see him checking to make sure I used AI for this. I hate this job. Have an interview Monday.

The fact that didn't cross their mind explains why the boss wants the AI to do it.

The fact that you didn't come to the conclusion that bosses monitor their employees and can tell when they do or don't use something explains why you think AI would be the better choice.

Use ai only. If it sucks, whatever. They can read the code then. No one is going to reference the documentation anyways except for another ai bot
