Interesting observations. For context, it looks like you are a software engineer from your comment history, is that correct?<p>I'm wondering why you're feeling the need to hire juniors because of GPT-4. Is it because GPT-4 has taken up the cognitive load capacity you need for mentoring juniors, or do you feel like GPT "obsoletes" less experienced people?<p>I think ChatGPT's advice is on the right track. It sounds to me like your experience of using it is kind of like my experience of pairing with someone else of equal-ish ability: productive, but draining, due to the need to constantly pay attention. If so, why not treat it similarly? Most people don't pair all day every day, probably because of the aforementioned cognitive load of doing so.<p>Last, but not least, while this may seem obvious, you should remember that you are human and not a machine. You <i>need</i> to separate yourself from this thing for at least some portion of your day. The constant stress (and, yes, that dopamine rush you feel when you use it <i>is</i> a kind of stress -- stress isn't always a purely negative thing) will take its toll on you eventually. That's the "burnout" you're perceiving, and the only way to prevent it is to just not let it happen.<p>Take care of yourself. Socialize and interact with humans, especially close friends and/or SO's as applicable. If you have a pet, spend some time with them. Take a walk.<p>But, most of all, remember that GPT-x, as smart as it may appear, can't actually <i>learn</i> anything from experience. It can only learn from an expensive and labor-intensive process, and once its training is done, it's frozen in time forever (modulo some fine-tuning, which is essentially an extension of said labor-intensive training process). And, at the end of the day, that just makes it a very versatile, very expensive, and very useful tool, but a tool nonetheless.
