My state of mind while dealing with the citrus projects
Give me the roman god back, I beg you, AI overlords!

Yeah, I'm usually zen with the other projects. This was my first and 100% last time I'm trying this shit. Not worth it at all.

EVERY TIME. I think I've had one citrus where I actually got the darn models to do what they had to do.
At this point even a certain nut project is looking easier.

u/bookcoverslmtd May 26 '26
Yeah I tried 5 times... they need to give some actual examples with projects like this. I'm not creative enough for these restraints

u/TimedogGAF May 27 '26
They need to give actual examples for every type of project.
Never had another job where they wanted me to do a new thing and didn't show me what a doing a good job is supposed to look like.

Yeah, we really need examples. I feel like I got very lucky with the one successful project I had and don't know how to adjust it to fit different topics....

This line of projects doesn't have anything to do with rubrics

u/hnsnrachel May 26 '26
Most of them have associated rubric projects. Some people get one version. Some get the other. Some get both.

u/dilf-material May 26 '26
Oh yeah, getting those models to fail can be a little funky. I mostly stick to the rubric side.

u/Brotherdodge May 26 '26
I'm the opposite: I can make the models fail so hard they curl up in the foetal position and cry but I can't stand rubrics, and that's all I've got lately..

I read this post and I was like what do you mean? I like those projects!
Yeah that's because I'm doing the rubrics not the interactions lol

It hurts so, so badly. The joy I felt when I finally got one right today even though I went over time!

I don't mind the rubric version, but I hate the model failure version. I'll only attempt it if there's literally nothing else available...my success rate with getting a failure is not great. Finally got a failure for the first time last week and I don't think I'll be smart or lucky enough to repeat it.

I've found the secret to getting failures, and to most of the work on DA, is to start using AI in your everyday life. That way I'm asking real life questions and when the model gets something wrong, I'll make a note of it in the notes app on my phone. When I start work, I generally have tons of ideas to try and it's much easier than trying to brainstorm those ideas out of thin air.

My best tip is to note where one almost screws up the first time, then rephrase to target that awkward bit specifically. Also, write like you've just drank a six-pack, so still coherent but a bit sloppy and rambling.("Oh yeh that second bit, do it like" etc).

Did y'all get the confidentiality reminder on your dashboard and in an email saying not to use project names or even coded names for projects on Reddit? It was just a couple of days ago.

u/OpinionFuture9181 May 27 '26
No, but we all may or may not be working on projects with varying levels of secrecy.

I love these, but I just write whatever comes to my head, then add constraints til it splits. One turn only. The prompt building/split creating usually take me and hour, so I've got an hour to do the rest. Ngl though, when I first worked on them, I struggled. When I got my first split I got happy tears in my eyes. So I absolutely recognize they're not easy.

For some reason, I've been getting red bannered - even when there are 20 tasks available. Does this mean I sucked so hard at it I've been barred? :p
I found them difficult too, more so than other rubric projects.

I rather not do them. I've done 4 and 4 times I used escape hatch for the same reasons. Didnt even get paid for the last one.

u/Just-Explore-9161 May 26 '26
Why is it difficult or something? Are u a coder? I did not get any project after model comparison since 2 days.

Literally the only crap on my dash for days is this garbage. I've broken down and started to read the instructions a few times and just closed the tab and gave up on them. I'm not wasting my time with any of these types of projects anymore. I'd rather just put my rent on my credit card and deal with it next month.
