Yes very much, kinda crazy too. Everything right now evolves around AI and I'm really thinking about taking a break.

No, but definitely tired of the "influencer" takes. You would think that this AI thing has been all but figured out, when really, even with the biggest openest claws we are still barely scratching the surface of a new era human-computer interaction

It is getting stuffy in the tech sector lately with all these AI postings but it's still a very new and very disruptive technology.

I also have to say that I don't use AI in my personal or professional life. And that is simply because I haven't felt any need to use it.

I'm becoming more bullish on AI, but it's still frustrating how much of the metaphorical oxygen it's taking. I feel like I'm hearing less about developments in software tech outside of AI fields.

Yes — talking and hearing/reading about it. I don’t fault folks for being excited when first getting into ut, but it’s rare to hear anything new said. And what is new is increasingly niche and unlikely to have any application to what I do.

So then...don't talk about it? Do your job. Go home. Spend time with family. Find some non-tech hobbies. The solution isn't to change the world but to break your social media addiction (and yes, HN/Linkedin/X are included).

Management is cargo culting the tooling without grasping what AI is actually good at. Because they don't look at it. Meanwhile smart blue collar guys are only limited by their willingness to ask questions. Because they do. It's the difference between the performance of work and work. The most fascinating aspect about AI may just be what it tells us about people, work, and society.

Yes, and I'm increasingly bored of talking about 'the internet'. AI definitely plays a part in that, I don't want to deal with randomly generated articles or content. But even regular content, like YouTube shorts, are unhealthy for the human brain.

I'm currently reading non-things by Byung-Chul Han, which is an interesting exploration of internet's impact on humanity/humans. Haven't finished it yet, but enjoying it so far.

God yes. I'm of the same mindset: I use it often, think it's great and revolutionary, but... why do we need to talk about it so much?

My technical interests are varied, and it's so boring to come to HN and see that a third (or more) of the front page is about AI.

Enough already. Let's talk about other things! And yes, I know, I should be a part of the solution and submit more articles.

I love AI, think its super useful, I use claude daily and follow the industry closely but I would love to go a day without hearing about it
