问HN：是我一个人这样觉得，还是说科技乐观主义在过去几年中已经消亡了？
我看到周围的人对未来的看法十分 bleak 和悲观。他们认为艺术和原创性正在消退，科技带来的危害大于好处，而大多数工作现在只是为了喂养某个无意识的机器，其唯一目标是让人上瘾。科技岗位似乎失去了目标，而非科技岗位则在不断被侵蚀。
这种观点与我成长的时代形成了鲜明的对比。从2010年到2020年，科技乐观主义达到了顶峰。尽管存在缺陷，像Airbnb、Uber、亚马逊以及无数SaaS初创公司似乎真的在改善事物——打破旧的垄断，建立更好的系统。
现在我们有了人工智能，这无疑是我们这一代人最具变革性的技术，但很多时候，反应似乎是疲惫而非兴奋。人们当然喜欢使用它，但与早期互联网不同，人工智能似乎并不是创造力的媒介。其核心价值似乎只是压缩我们已经在做的事情所需的时间。
也许是年龄的原因，也许只是我个人的感受，或者我被虚假的怀旧情绪所影响。但我很好奇：其他人是如何看待这种变化的？

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?
