Sources? That would cheer me up for sure, haha.
> If you're tired of working for the kind of idiot that sees "AI will replace everyone in your company for cheap" and starts drooling I don't blame you. I'm pretty sick of the industry too.
Yeah you're probably right and I suppose this is more a factor than AI itself.
The company I work for has been stack ranking for about a year and a half. It's exhausting and, combined with the onslaught of AI hype, it's pretty easy to slip into a pattern of thought where I feel I contribute no value.
So AI might just be the proverbial straw.
It also doesn't help that the engineering landscape in Australia is a bit lacklustre when it comes to anything more complicated than web/app development. Would love to work on operating systems or crazy hardware projects like piloting software or robotics.
