Ask HN：我感觉因为人工智能而失去了自我
5 分•作者: im-not-enjoying•3 个月前
我是一名自学成才的软件开发者，之前是一名电气工程师。
在过去的十年里，我几乎把所有业余时间都花在了阅读、学习和举重上——软件、电气工程、阅读，以及创造我认为是新颖的项目，主要集中在软件领域。
很长一段时间以来，我只对那些真正前所未有的想法感兴趣，也许是因为我有注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）？但我追求和构建的许多想法在某种程度上都是相对新颖或独特的，而不是衍生的。
然后，大型语言模型（LLM）出现了。现在任何人都可以在一次尝试中向人工智能寻求想法、让它替自己思考，或者让它为自己构建软件。
起初，我对LLM感到非常兴奋，因为我认为这是一个可以交流想法的好工具。现在，LLM已经远远超出了我可能有的任何想法。不仅如此，我是一个建造者，我一直都在建造东西并将项目推向世界。现在我的项目正在淹没在噪音的海洋中，我正在为这种噪音添砖加瓦。
我甚至不再手动编程了，因为LLM可以比我做得更好。我可以更好地进行架构设计，但很快这一点也会消失。
我不是在说丧气话，但我感觉我似乎没有什么值得活下去的了。我还年轻（20多岁），我有点残疾，而人工智能正在影响我的职业生涯。
我看到了时代的趋势。工作受到严重影响，裁员不断，重组，等等。
在人工智能出现之前，我能在人群中脱颖而出。我曾获得行业奖项，在一定程度上获得了全球认可，有过成功的商业退出，并拥有强大的编程技能。
人工智能的进步速度如此之快，我认为即使是系统架构师也完蛋了。
所以，由于身体原因我不能做体力劳动，而且很快我就不能做办公室工作了，因为——现在任何人都可以在办公室工作了。
我基本上已经心灰意冷，对一切都失去了热情。
我一直在思考“砍柴挑水”之类的说法，我也想去做。但这并不能支付账单。

I am a self taught software developer. I was previously an electrical engineer.<p>For the past 10 years I’ve spent almost all my spare time reading and learning and lifting weights - software, electrical engineering, reading, and creating what I thought were novel projects - mostly in the software domain.<p>For the longest time I’ve only been interested in ideas that haven’t really been done before, maybe that’s because I have adhd? But lots of the ideas I pursue and build are relatively novel or unique in some way, not derivative.<p>Anyway, then LLMs happened. Now any idiot can just ask an AI for ideas or to think for them, or to build software for them in a single shot.<p>Initially I was really excited by LLMs because I thought great, something to bounce ideas off. Now LLMs have far surpassed any idea I could possibly have. Not only that, but I’m a builder and I have always built things and launched projects to the world. Now my projects are drowning in a sea of noise. I’m contributing to the noise.<p>I don’t even hand program anymore, because the llm can do it all better than me. I can architect better, but soon that will disappear too.<p>I don’t mean to be morbid, but I feel like I don’t have much to live for anymore. I’m young (late 20s), I’m semi-disabled, and AI is affecting my career.<p>I see the writing on the wall. Jobs are being heavily affected, layoffs constantly, restructures, the works.<p>Before AI I had a way to stand out amongst the crowd. I had industry awards, global recognition to a certain degree, successful business exits, and strong programming skills.<p>AI is advancing so rapidly that I think even system architects are fucked.<p>So, can’t do physical jobs due to semi disability and pretty soon won’t be able to do office work because - any idiot can do office work now.<p>I’m pretty checked out, and have basically lost passion for everything.<p>I’ve been thinking about the phrase “chop wood, carry water” or whatever it is, and I’d like to do that. But that doesn’t pay the bills.
