I am bored of Luddite people yelling at AI

And this one will be different?

> At serious risk of sounding like a heretic here, but I’m kinda bored of talking about AI.

Umm.

> I get it, AI is incredible. I use it every day, it’s completely changed my workflow. I recently started a new role in a tricky domain working at web scale (hey, remember web scale?) and it’s allowed me to go from 0-1 in terms of productivity in a matter of weeks.

It’s all positives. So what’s the problem?

There isn’t a problem with AI. Of course. It’s just the discourse around it is “boring”. And the managers are lame about it.

And what has been the AI discourse for the last few years. The same formula.

- AI is either good

- ... or it is the best thing to have happened to Me

- But I have feelings[1] or concerns about everything around AI, like the discourse, or people having two-hundred concurrent AI agents mania

It’s all just grease for the AI Inevitabilism bytemill.

> … And yes, I’m painfully aware of the irony of a post about moaning about posts about AI. Sorry.

OP can’t even resign himself to being a Type. Sigh. “I know what I just did hehe”

Very self-aware.

Not really? It's kind of a big deal.

Talking about how you are bored about talking about the thing is still talking about the thing.
