There would be less AI fatigue if people stopped talking about AI. ;)
The article is talking about something completely different.

#12I really feel this. I can make meaningful progress on half a dozen projects in the course of a day now but I end the day exhausted . I've had conversations with people recently who are losing sleep because they're finding building yet another feature with "just one more prompt" irresistible. Decades of intuition about sustainable working practices just got disrupted. It's going to take a while and some discipline to…
Throw in the fact that clawdbot can work 24/7.
It reminds me of why people wanted financial markets to be 24/7.
We as a society should probably take a look at that otherwise it may lead to burnout in a not so small percentage of people

#13I loved the section about trying to fight against a system that isn't deterministic.
LLMs because of their nature require constant hand-holding by humans, unless business are willing to make them entirely accountable for the systems/products they produce.

#14Who knew managing a team of ten occasionally brilliant but generally unreliable engineers would be so draining.

Re: AI fatigue is real and nobody talks about it
#17I just ignore it and don't care.
Sounds like a good way to kill yourself, considering "fatigue" here means actual physical fatigue and not "I'm tired of AI".
Re: AI fatigue is real and nobody talks about it
#18For me the fatigue is a little different— it’s the constant switching between doing a little bit of work/coding/reviewing and then stopping to wait for the llm to generate something.
The waits are unpredictable length, so you never know if you should wait or switch to a new task. So you just do something to kill a little time while the machine thinks.
You never get into a flow state and you feel worn down from this constant vigilance of waiting for background jobs to finish.
I dont feel more productive, I feel like a lazy babysitter that’s just doing enough to keep the kids from hurting themselves

My problem is - before, I'd get ideas, start something, and it would either become immediately obvious it wouldn't be worth the time, or immediately obvious that it wouldn't turn out well / how I thought.
Now, the problem is, everything starts off so incredibly well and goes smoothly... Until it doesn't.

#20I've been building https://roborev.io/ (continuous background code review for agents) essentially as a cope to supervise the poor quality of the agents' work, since my agents write much more code than I can possible review directly or QA thoroughly. I think we'll see a bunch of interesting new tools to help alleviate the cognitive burden of supervising their work output.
