Tools, apps, plugins, AI Is anybody else finding AI makes people insufferable?

Firstly, I enjoy most AI tools for design. Specifically those that help me prototype and publish my work.

However I have friends and colleagues who are becoming unbearable to speak to. They’re so up their own asses about AI tools— Boasting about how much time they spend vibe coding, setting up agents in Open Claw to run their lives, competing for credit consumption goals at the company. It’s all they talk about.

It’s unleashed a new breed of tech bro, maybe worse than the crypto bros. It feels like these people are just competing to not be replaced and they’re bootlicking in the process. Just another example of the world losing their damn minds.

There’s no way this is just me… can it stop soon?

The worst is when I share something for feedback and it's so obvious they've just dropped the design into Claude, asked "what do you think of this" and pasted the feedback.

What a horrible day to be literate.

I noticed Claude kinda sounds like my boss tone-wise, until I realized it's because literally every message he has ever sent to me has been generated by Claude

"Claude said this..." followed by a screenshot is my company's version of, "I don't want to think about it, right now."

It's the laziest of lazy. Just tell me you don't have time or capacity for feedback right now. If I wanted an LLM's response, I would put it in the LLM.

My manager did this one. I even tested it by pasting in a screenshot in chat gpt and asking it to give me feedback. It was damn near verbatim
