I'm Sick of AI Everything

One fed‑up poster says they quit Facebook and now want to block all things AI at the browser level—basically, “no more robot content, ever.” Cue the comment cage match on Hacker News. The loudest reaction? Burnout about burnout. Veteran builder PaulHoule says he tried to sell big, general‑purpose AI systems before they were ready and now he’s “sick of people being sick of it,” turning exhaustion into a personality.

Another crowd insists the real villain isn’t AI—it’s the platforms. User dartharva calls social media “a river of outrage and slop,” arguing it’s always been trashy; AI just makes the cheapness obvious. Meanwhile, socketcluster doesn’t hate AI at all—just the copy‑paste sameness flooding every channel, long before chatbots showed up.

Then there’s the definition fight. simonw asks the classroom question: What even is “AI”? Are we talking image/video/text generators that spam feeds? If so, say that. And in the back, the hype squad is popping confetti: wewewedxfgdf loves AI and big chat models (called “LLMs,” or large language models)—with one exception that united the thread in laughter: printers.

So yes, the post is about AI fatigue. But the drama is a three‑way: exhausted vs. apocalyptic vs. ecstatic, with a side of “please define your terms.” Classic internet energy—from “block it all” to “the party’s just getting started.”
