I thought the same. I was pretty much getting slowly convinced I had to get out before I threw my laptop out the window. I both loathed and dreaded the thing.

And then Stability dropped Stable Diffusion, with all the messy and impressive effervescence that followed. And OpenAI released Whisper and opened access to text-davinci-003.

Now I feel like a kid again. All the new things I can make, that before would have taken ages and required to catch up on tons of boring domain expertise. All the new interfaces and UXs possibilities that have just opened. It’s almost magic.

It will probably become my new normal, I guess. By It pretty sure there will be something else by then. I just have to make sure I’ll still have an open and curious mind when it happens.

"Stay hungry, stay foolish."



I feel I have lost my "hunger" and was wondering what went wrong (if any) along the way.


That can happen. It’s one of those things that, for many reasons, can come and go.

But I’m afraid a random stranger on the Internet wouldn’t necessarily be in the best position to help you here.


Yeah totally. That's why I wanted to first see how common this is among people here.


I wouldn’t be surprised if those who feel or have felt something similar were much more likely to reply here than others, so it will probably be heavily biased.

Nonetheless, reaching out is always a good idea. If only not to feel alone facing whatever the day’s struggle is.

Personally, I’ve just started trying wave.ai. No idea if it’s worth it yet, but I’ve heard great things from people whose opinions I usually find worthwhile. I just hope it might help with the long term.
