Of course talking about AI is boring.

The analogy is someone from the 19th century talking about their slaves all day which is of course nonsense because they had other things to talk about.

It seems some people in this thread are not :)

Yup.

Bored of hearing about it, bored of reading about it.

I love using these LLM tools, but honestly, it feels like every man and his dog has something to say about it, and is angling to make a quick buck or two from it.

And the slop, oh my goodness, it's never-ending on every site and service.

I definitely get the comment about HN and seeing a billion posts about OpenClaw, Claude, or yet another post on an industry being disrupted by AI.

Tack on to that the increasing number of political stuff on here as well just makes it less and less an interesting place to visit.

Don't agree with the angry mob on the political stuff especially and you get downvoted/flagged into oblivion.

Just another echo chamber looking to have viewpoints confirmed in yet another one of the disappearing places online that foster any level of intellectual curiosity.

I couldn't wait for the bubble to pop, everything is getting tied to AI KPIs.

It feels like during the previous hype cycle of bitcoins, blockchains and NFTs. People are trying to find uses for new technologies but it seems like a lot of the conversations come from people (at this point I guess it's still people?) trying to increase the hype. Maybe they are trying to be thought leaders or maybe they are trying to boost some stock valuations.

The amount of questions I fielded about web3, coins, ledgers, etc as an IC speaking with customers or internal leadership was around an order of magnitude lower, and well-known brands weren't trying to sell me any of them. It was much rarer for it to get shoved into a product it wasn't helpful for, too.

Never thought I'd feel nostalgic about that era...

You may be bored of AI, but because AI is not yet bored of us, turning away may be dangerous.

AI is neither bored or nor engaged with us. It's just a technology that we can use or abuse. I doubt it'll become conscious anytime soon though our the desire to invent God or deceive others will push us to invent many contraptions to make it appear conscious.

Anything to distract from the real war, billionaires vs everyone else.

I'm not bored of the technology per se but the people around it. The yappers, doomers, and the shills are insufferable.
