Ask HN: Disillusioned after AI?

Maybe it’s me but the advances in AI are just leaving me feeling disillusioned as a builder. There’s an odd feeling that whatever I am going to build will just get gobbled away by some big tech company. The demos just become more cringey, the messaging more duplicitous and fake-authentic. I’m wondering if anyone else has wrestled with similar feelings or maybe I am just going through a rough patch.
