From Hype to Fatigue

I’ve been using AI for more than two years. At first, I was excited — motivated, optimistic about where things were heading. Now I feel stuck in a rat race. I still use AI, but the spark’s gone. I avoid big tech AI news because it all feels like branding endless hype cycles selling the same belief: the future is brighter, so invest more. Meanwhile, I see more greed, more spin, more people struggling. Maybe it’s AI fatigue. Maybe it’s burnout from listening to all the executives yapping about “changing the world” while knowing their real motives are chasing control and valuation.

Some days I just wish something would humble all of us in the world — force us to slow down, shut up, and actually think.
