Who else has had this experience? I've spent the last year implementing feature LITERALLY NOBODY asked for.

>the AI dreams it, and now we have to live in the dream
how about you just tell it to not implement it? have you tried it?
also are you even using prompts if he doesn't know what to do?

openAI forcing random devs to implement features they want. It's not so humorous now huh.
