I wonder if AI will increase burnout rates in a couple of months. I love how powerfull AI makes me, but I also feel like it makes me go faster than my brain is used to. Either that feeling will go away and we get used to it, or it's going to quietly burn a lot of people out.

I feel I need more walks and time to think, which seems good

That's actually a good idea, I'm going to do more walks next week.

You need a certain amount of breathing room in terms of thought (i.e. cognitive downtime) and I get the distinct impression that the speed that AI enables will likely prove unfeasible some time down the line. Also explains why some people really thrive now. I think it's a neurological thing, too.
