Client: “We need an app that tracks live birds using AI.”

Me: “Cool, that’s complex. What’s the timeline?”

Client: “We need it before our annual picnic next week.”

Me: “You want an AI that can detect flying birds, in real time, in seven days?”

Client: “It’s not that hard. Just use ChatGPT or something.”

So now I’m here, watching pigeons on my balcony, manually updating a Google Sheet, calling it “AI prototype v1.0.”

I think I’ve finally achieved “Agile Enlightenment” — deliver results, not features.

Client’s happy.
My soul isn’t.

Time to rename the project: BirdBrain.

    @BordedDev exactly! But if you phrase it like that it sounds like a joke while Yolo is a serious solution for this :p

    But yeah, I saw a guy (i also think using Yolo) learning to recognize a watch in an evening.

    But, lovebirds.. :p

    The company is so cheap they don't want to shell out for the government drone data.

    @Lensflare Sharp, but it can come still, votes were many times out of sync, it's some async process I guess. Queue'd.

    Love the rename of the Avian Identifier.
    Other than that I highly suggest you don't solve these problems by sacrificing your time. It will happen again. Because they can't plan and will call great success every time.

    Whenever someone clearly isn't capable and tells you it's easy. Let them piece it it's easy. They can use CratGPT or something...
