Ask HN: Is anyone else experiencing AI fatigue?

It's not the tech that's tiring so much as the signaling regardless of how meaningful it actually is (which, meaningful or not, does not change my sentiment). I use these tools too, so this isn't a purity argument; I'm just starting to notice the saturation and a certain reaction when reading sentences like "now with AI", "AI-powered" or "AI-enhanced". I don't know if it's fatigue, cynicism or just a general sense of overexposure, but it feels like the term is being thrown around so much that it's losing its impact.

Curious if others are feeling the same or if I'm just overexposed.

Also just generally worried about the mental health of engineers out there right now, with the rapidly changing processes, and the constant messaging that you may no longer have a job soon. Feel like I don't see many people talking about it.

What I feel is more like "too much of a good thing", and too many people that want quick riches concentrating on this field after the web3 fiasco. Both of these seems more like a systematic societal issues rather than the problem with technology itself.

Yes. It's just a language learning chat bot with big data shoved up it's back-side and people are trying to shill the idea it is super intelligent despite it being human mimicry by design just like any other chat bot. That is the part I was tired of after the first week. It has some great uses but intelligent it is not. I do think it's great that big-data scientists have found something to bolster their career.

Honestly it helps a lot to learn new patterns or languages but once you know it all I rather would touch it myself tbh
