Help with AI Fatigue
Hey folks. Lots of exciting and cool stuff out there these days, incredible time to be alive!
That said, I can't help but feel the dread of infinite untapped potential and decision fatigue when it comes to navigating the space.
How do you cope? What works for you? What do you recommend?
I feel like what I want right now is some agent that can replace my decision making when it comes to this decision fatigue, I keep jumping around from one agent to another, one model to another, they all sort of work and produce similar results if I am being honest, am I doing something wrong?
If I try to reason about my frustration, I would say it is a UX problem. For example, I believe Cursor managed to cross the chasm when they reinvented autocomplete using a novel UX, same goes for Claude Code with its cli. That said, I feel like they are not "ageing" well, maybe it's just me.
Here's the thing that is upsetting me, it feels like we are in a suboptimal in-between state where we are trying to enter a sort of autonomous computing with low to moderate supervision but the UX is still not quite fully aligned with that direction the way I see it. -- I'm struggling with words, hopefully someone smarter than me on HN can understand what I mean here, heh.
I like we're now entering an era where cloud sandboxes and asynchronous environments are emerging, but it still feels awkward for some reason. Half-baked, feature factories, a lot of try everything and see what sticks. -- Maybe it's just knowledge gaps, information density/overload, or perhaps I just need to focus better.
Anyone else feels like there is a race where time to market is the priority rather than quality and innovation? Are we ever going to slow down again?
Oh well . . . time to go back to doomscrolling on Sora ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think this is like 90's VR. We saw all these options for it but in the end it was not as good as we imagined it was. There's a lot to explore in the space, but there's a ceiling. The technology will never live up to what we dream it is. We're imagining "Lawnmower Man" but the best we will get is Google goggles.
So you mean it's a mismatch of expectation versus reality then? Too eager to live the potential and the marketing hype plus the race brings this cognitive dissonance that we are "already there"
