## AI overview

The author announces that the user-facing portion of invidio.us will shut down on September 1 and that they are stepping away from development. Users can export their data for migration to another instance or self-hosting. The author also criticizes the hype around AI and software tooling, arguing that much AI-generated software is low-value and that tool usage may slow after this software is produced.

## Source excerpt

Starting September 1st, I'm shutting down the user-facing portion of invidio.us and stepping away from development. If you have an account on the site, you can export your data here, which will allow you to import everything to another instance or self-host.
