Navigating the Challenges of Building AI Systems: A Candid Reflection
With three decades of programming experience, the journey remains exhilarating, particularly in the realm of Artificial Intelligence. Recently, I embarked on an ambitious project to craft an agentic AI system using OpenAI’s LLM services. Here’s what I discovered:
- Building Excitement: The thrill of seeing abstract designs transform into functional applications continues to drive my passion.
- Learning Curve: After two iterations, I crafted workflows and tools to support the LLM. The system shows great potential, but…
- Frustration in the Process: Despite my efforts, the true complexity lies within the LLM itself—a “mythical beast” that often produces unpredictable results.
- Joy vs. Frustration: Coding brings me joy, but the slow execution and unsolved challenges can lead to discouragement.
Ultimately, I seek joy in the journey, no matter how frustrating it may be.
