AI Fatigue? Yea I know.

I don't know how to start this off really haha. Though to be fair, everyone is talking about AI ranging from building projects with AI, news about AI, dev.to articles about AI, and so on.

Though the more I see articles talking about AI, the more I felt like it's no longer interesting anymore. There is so much articles that is related to AI (ignore the part where I posted about making a portfolio in relations to AI) to the point where I want something...different.

I remember having discussions with various people on dev.to where back then there use to be articles that were very interesting such as CSS Tips, Resources every developer should know, etc. I can tell it was interesting back then because I visit that time. How? (I just find articles before 2022). There were so much variety of articles to look into and it gives the reader a lot of choices.

Now seeing a lot of articles, most of the time I see articles talking about:

• Topics in MCP
• An app someone use AI to build it
• Tokens
• Models
• Machine Learning

This is based on my experience by simply looking at the front page. Don't get me wrong, MCP is important and so is someone building an app using AI in some sense and talking about their process. The problem is that almost everyone is doing it to the point where it's hard to find an article that stands out from the rest.

It also gets difficult for people, like me, to find articles that are easy to understand because in most cases, articles talking about AI tend to be complex.

Do I mention "AI" in my articles, yes. I talk about AI and I fit into this category. However, I try not to talk about AI most of the time and focus on other aspects.

For instance, on my last article, I talked about the reasons of creating a portfolio in the age of AI. I mainly talk about how you can structure your portfolio and use AI as a tool. The main highlight is talking about making your portfolio in the age of AI and how it's still relevant in this market.

Before you ask, yes, it gave me fatigue even reading my own article on it. However, this is expected.

   

AI is unavoidable

If you are lucky enough, you can find an article that talks about anything not related to AI at all. However, there will always be some mention of AI whenever you read an article on dev.to or in any social media platform.

AI has becoming a discussion that seems unavoidable because AI plays a critical role whenever we are developing an app or how some companies using AI. AI is rapidly growing in a rate where it is hard to catch up for not only us developers, but for the general public as well. There are still some discussions about AI art and the legality of it to this day as it becomes much harder to distinguish.

It's everywhere. There is no escape from it and I don't know if it's even possible to escape from this fatigue. My fear is if we all know AI and if we remove AI from the equation from our lives, what do we truly know?

The question is never "how we differentiate topics between AI and non-AI?". we should all be asking: "What will we expect content beyond AI?"
