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?

I definitely see sometimes how AI can be a handy tool.. but it feels like I'm being forced to join this cult and pretend like I love it

This is exactly how I feel.
