> I want to say it's very akin to doom scrolling. Doom tabbing? It's like, yeah I could be more creative with just a tad more effort, but the AI is already running and the bar to seeing what the AI will do next is so low, so....

Yea exactly, Like we are just waiting so that it gets completed and after it gets completed then what? We ask it to do new things again.

Just as how if we are doom scrolling, we watch something for a minute then scroll down and watch something new again.

The whole notion of progress feels completely fake with this. Somehow I guess I was in a bubble of time where I had always end up using AI in web browsers (just as when chatgpt 3 came) and my workflow didn't change because it was free but recently changed it when some new free services dropped.

"Doom-tabbing" or complete out of the loop AI agentic programming just feels really weird to me sucking the joy & I wouldn't even consider myself a guy particular interested in writing code as I had been using AI to write code for a long time.

I think the problem for me was that I always considered myself a computer tinker before coder. So when AI came for coding, my tinkering skills were given a boost (I could make projects of curiosity I couldn't earlier) but now with AI agents in this autonomous esque way, it has come for my tinkering & I do feel replaced or just feel like my ability of tinkering and my interests and my knowledge and my experience is just not taken up into account if AI agent will write the whole code in multi file structure, run commands and then deploy it straight to a website.

I mean my point is tinkering was an active hobby, now its becoming a passive hobby, doom-tinkering? I feel like I have caught up on the feeling a bit earlier with just vibe from my heart but is it just me who feels this or?

What could be a name for what I feel?
