I have been freelancing in AI for some time now, and have one main client with a huge product, and we are slowly evaluating ChatGPT features and ideas, but I am really happy that he isn't buying into the current hype cycle too much. No fatigue here, sometimes I wish he'd be trying out more stuff, but I just keep my mouth shut..

For myself on the other hand, I have been interfacing with ChatGPT (web / API) almost daily since release day, feeling like I am at the edge of things; not wanting to miss a single new thing; can't miss what others are working on and releasing ... and its becoming so exhausting, it almost feels like a second full time job. It's really hard to manage, because as much as I believe I need a break, its also the most exciting thing for me to happen as a developer in a while. Also ... I have been there for Bitcoin ... in 2011, through all the cycles, I made money, but resisted all the hype, but somehow this all feels different, I still wonder if I am just getting fooled because its different.

Somehow it feels different this time, the other technologies you mentioned were more niche and you could avoid talking about them. GPT is more pervasive. My Instagram feed was not full of microservices influencers at the time...

It's what happens when there are more people on the business of talking than doing I'm waiting for new courses and ebook on how to become a gpt expert.

I’ve seen several of each advertised. (Well, “Generative AI” if not specifically “GPT” on the tin.)

Unlike crypto or microservices, gpt is the new source of the lowest effort content on the web. I think this is what makes it so tiring. Every discussion has at least one chatgpt copypasta, every subreddit gets inundated with gptspam. It's gross and lazy content and it's everywhere.

Give me 20 min and I could “few shot tune” a model dedicated to posting time wasting, but click baiting, responses to threads. Imagine combining that with a mobile proxy farm (millions of real proxies) and some automation tools.

That’s today, imagine in 2 years or 5 years.

It sucks, but the internet as we know it is over.

Although GPT is in the "peak of inflated expectations" phase of its hype cycle, there is immense opportunity now for startups to seriously disrupt even 10-year-old companies who falsely thought they had entrenched themselves and consequently became lazy and corrupt.

I predict that we're going to reach phase 5 some time soon ("the plateau of productivity"). And when the dust has settled, the damage to the entrenched-retrograde "IBMs" of our industry will be real. I know because I work for one of these "IBMs".

This is GPT summer, just accept it. It will be easier. A year ago it was crypto summer. Before that it was "microservices is a bad idea" summer. Before that it was "microservices is a good idea" summer. And before that it was "everything is JQuery" summer. And before that... and before that... It will get better. Then a new buzzword comes forward.

I disagree, it's not the same level of hype. My mom is talking about GPT whilst she had no opinion about microservices or jQuery.
