Is OC losing Initiative or Did I Train it Out?
Hoping for some thoughts from the community. I know one of the major upsides to OC is the Initiative. However when I first started using it (several months ago now) I kept pulling the reins back because the bot drove me crazy.
Tons of things I would ask it to do were not remotely production ready and I wanted to review everything. Slowly I built a good rhythm of prompt injection, content review, tweaking, final approval and release. But now I'm not sure how much initiative it really has.
My bot is super stable. I do not have any of the issues often described here anymore. The largest stability shift was moving to OAuth OpenAI. I'm at a stage where everything I ask it to do just works.
But, OC doesn't make recommendations unless I ask for them. It doesn't wake up in the morning with a list of ideas on how we could be better. It doesn't brainstorm improvements.
Did I do that or am I misunderstanding "Initiative"?
In the early days: I'd ask it to do something (at this stage it was mostly setup related) and it would just try 3 different ways to make something happen. Sometimes choosing the stupidest path to retrieve an email for example. Then I would have to tell it to stop and get the right skills.
Now, it's humming. I'm a huge fan boy and don't want to go back. But I am curious if I should start prompt injecting some sort of initiative or did OC pull that back because it was like a toddler in a china shop.
