Your point #4 is whats wrong here.

Millenials have aged.

We dont care enough to be bleeding hearts - so there best be no political conversation, bc we don't want to care.

There is a slice of us that refuse to even like interact with AI -> bc they are afraid of it, either taking their jobs or becoming Skynet - I have no idea.

If more interacted with AI they would realize AI is - maybe we would have more startups again, more personal projects - the majority of people on this platform have access now to something that renders solo/small team projects much, much more plausible -> so, where are they?

That you think AI is such a limiting thing is exactly what I mean.

HN is not more close minded - the People here are. Slowly becoming the boomers for Gen Alpha/Beta to hate.

I question the sales pitch from these AI companies, because this isn’t happening.

The AI built projects that are posted feel very much like AI toy projects.

The only real interesting thing I’ve seen so far was Glaze from a couple days ago, from the Raycast people. Though it does make me a bit worried about the future.

I understand where you are coming from but this is the primary misunderstanding - AI doesn't do anything on its own, if you have an AI 100% do something, that will likely suck. AI is a tool, a resource, and something that you can outsource all the tedious and monotonous stuff to.

Its also incredibly helpful if you dont know what you are doing. You can learn from an AI.

My biggest project I've used AI for was a book of poetry. AI can't write poetry very well at all - I don't think that I used a single AI written line (I had notebooks filled with writings from over the years) but in general I had absolutely no idea how to write poetry - I know exactly how to write it now - like as if I went to school for exactly that.

AI is also a better researcher than most people, so everyone ought to be using AI for search 100%.

I had 3 startups back in the day, none of them took off - I have not done any web development in over a decade, I'm in the early stages of starting a project that I should not be able to do and yet I am planning on doing it.
