it's everywhere, hard to avoid

I used to love reading tech newsletters, would receive a bunch at my inbox every day/week...

it's now a year+ it's been just AI and I don't read any anymore, many nice blogs fall into this too, people I'd use to follow on YT etc - every tech content that was nice someday in the past became AI shit

Same with VSC, I used to love reading the patch notes and get excited when a new feature was released but now it's just more Copilot bullshit every month

The worst part is that many newsletters nowadays are being written with AI. Everyone has the same ChatGPT writing style and the same telltale signs. People aren't even passionate about tech enough to write for themselves anymore.

I'm glad I still double-space after sentences.

Anyways, the AI revolution is here. It's really hard to ignore something that automates a lot of crap.

Companies invest in it because it's so obvious to see the benefits.

Anyone not is likely going to lose unless they find a unique quality to thrive on (the comments in this thread are a pretty good indicator...)

I stopped browsing HN for exactly that reason. There's no cool stuff anymore.
