Is this obsession with 'building' just an addiction?

The obsession with "building," particularly with AI, is being compared to an addiction. The process of prompting and seeing immediate results provides a short-lived dopamine hit, leading to a continuous chase for the next high. This behavior, where individuals invest significant savings and believe they need these tools to optimize their lives, could soon be recognized as a de facto condition, highlighting a potential delusion among those involved.

This discussion uniquely frames the act of "building" with AI as a potential addiction, comparing the dopamine hit from prompts to a monkey pulling a lever.
