I'm just so bored of AI
The author expresses fatigue with the constant discussion of AI, comparing it to listening to vapers or stoners excitedly talk about their experiences — interesting at first but quickly becoming tiresome.
Background
A blog post expressing fatigue with the constant hype around AI. The author compares AI enthusiasts to vapers or first-time drug users — people who are fascinated by their own discovery but become tiresome to others. The piece reflects a growing sentiment among some tech writers and general audiences in 2025–2026: that AI marketing and discussion have become exhausting, repetitive, and disconnected from practical value. The author, Terence Eden, is a well-known UK-based open-source advocate and blogger who often writes critically about tech industry hype cycles. This post is part of a broader backlash against the relentless promotion of generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) that dominated tech discourse starting in 2023.
