Hacker News thread asks whether AI work is causing fatigue
Original title: Ask HN: Are you tired too in this AI era?
Commenters describe parallel context switching, reviewing one model with another, and bosses pushing AI use.
An Ask HN post says AI increases output but also fatigue from parallel work, generated text, guardrails and constant decisions. Replies compare the loss of flow to air-traffic-control workload, describe using Claude chat to plan and Claude Code to test, and blame workplace process or hardware prices rather than AI itself. One commenter says a boss requires AI use but not parallel agents. The thread offers personal coping tips, not new research or a security incident.
- One workflow feeds Claude Code findings back to Claude chat for summaries.
- That reviewer says an independent code review can use about 200K tokens.
- Another commenter attributes the overload to the workplace, not the AI era.
