问 HN：只有我这么觉得吗，还是说科技乐观主义在过去几年里消亡了？

我周围的人似乎都对未来持悲观态度。他们认为艺术和创造力正在衰退，科技带来的弊大于利，而且现在大多数工作都是为了服务于某些无脑机器，这些机器唯一的目的就是让人上瘾。科技岗位的价值感似乎正在流失，而非科技岗位也在逐渐萎缩。
这种观点与我成长的那段时期形成了鲜明对比。从2010年到2020年，科技乐观主义达到了顶峰。尽管存在一些问题，但像Airbnb、Uber、亚马逊以及无数SaaS初创公司，都让人感觉他们确实在改善着生活——打破旧的垄断，建立更好的系统。
现在我们有了人工智能，这可以说是我们一生中最具变革性的技术，但很多时候，人们的反应似乎是疲惫而不是兴奋。当然，人们喜欢使用它，但与早期的互联网不同，人工智能似乎并不是一个激发创造力的媒介。它的核心价值似乎仅仅在于压缩我们已经做的事情所花费的时间。
也许是年龄的原因。也许只是我个人的感受。也许我被虚假的怀旧情绪所困扰。但我很好奇：其他人是如何看待这种转变的？

I see people all around me who have this bleak, pessimistic view of where everything is going. That art/originality is fading, that technology is causing more harm than good, and that most jobs now exist to feed some mindless machine where sole goal is to get people addicted. Tech roles feel drained of purpose, and non-tech roles are being eaten away.<p>This outlook is a stark contrast to the era I grew up in. From 2010 to 2020, tech optimism was at its peak. Despite the flaws, companies like Airbnb, Uber, Amazon, and countless SaaS startups felt like they were genuinely improving things—breaking old monopolies and building better systems.<p>Now we have AI, arguably the most transformative technology of our lifetime, yet a lot of times the reaction seems to be exhaustion rather than excitement. Sure, people love using it, but unlike the early Internet, AI doesn't seem like a medium for creativity. The core value feels just about compressing the time it takes to do what we were already doing.<p>Maybe it’s age. Maybe it’s just me. And maybe I am bitten by false nostalgia. But I’m curious: how are others seeing this shift?
