I'm with you 100%. AI has sucked the fun out of coding and IT work. There’s no satisfaction in solving problems anymore. I'm also just a few years away from 60, so I think we are on the same page. Maybe it is fatigue, I dunno.. you tell me.

Let me clarify a litle bit. why am I with this HN guy? My work is now forcing this nonsense on everyone. Like any other major IT work, they think it is the future because C-suites are getting free BJs from AI companies. I don't want to use these tools, not even for paid work. The other day, I wrote a small Python script to automate certain tasks for my own needs. Now, that was fun for me, but not this forced AI bullshit. Forced stuff never work on people who can think & knows what's good & bad
My other biggest hate for AI and all these companies is how they are stealing others' work. Just because someone put their art, song, book, or forum post/wiki contribution online doesn't mean it is free to steal. Not to mention environmental issues. If you really want to train your shitty AI, pay up to all these people first. You have money in trillions. Instead, they are stealing, firing workers, and building massive data centers and surveillance networks to drag down everyone. So fuck off!
@nixCraft None of them have the liquidity, it’s all market cap and numbers. Hype plays a big role too. Whilst they definitely have money, none of them really have these millions in their pockets. The moment this gold rush dies down we’ll likely be looking at an extreme economic recession. My guess is the kind that might rival all others. In other words, dark days… something to be ready for, cuz as they go down, they’ll be taking massive branches of the economy with them.
