I'm not really shunning, I've gone from very high on AI to mostly exhausted with it. I wish we could skip ahead ~5 years to it being another tool in the tool belt and lessons learned about where it's good and bad. Right now everything is so same-y. Barely any oxygen for other technologies to get funding and attention, large fraction of what I read on socials is in claude's or chatgpt's voice.

... and maybe I'm wrong and get economically obsoleted. but eschatology is like catnip for every generation and I think there's a big component of that

I feel you, I kind of want to skip ahead some years too. But it feels like 1998 internet hype--skip ahead 5 years and Facebook hasn't even been created yet. The internet certainly didn't become just another tool in the tool belt, and the worst of the internet's effects were still yet to come.
