I'm AI engineer tired of AI
Today I wanted to put some extra work hours in the evening, as I wasn't feeling really productive at work. This didn't work, as it didn't in the majority of my previous tries. I'm just too tired and too uninterested in work, and I think AI is very much to blame.
It's maybe a bit strange that AI is making me tired, as someone who makes living because of AI, maybe it's not. I really push myself into wanting to feel some enjoyment from AI workflows, I mess with Claude skills and organize my files to be used by Claude Code, even when I'm not dealing with code. This sometimes yields what I could call good results, but I'm not that sure about what good means any more.
I wrote quite a few good documents this year, but the only ones that gave me satisfaction are the (few) ones that I wrote the old way, by using my brain without any AI input. I think those were really good because they contained only the stuff that really was needed there, nothing fancy, just useful documents.
I decided to post my first blog, just as a venting opportunity, and one thing I really don't have to use AI for. I'll try to find a way to enjoy my work more, and to deliver better results with less AI, because it seems to me that I just can't find a way while being an advanced AI user.
