You can use both, however these two sentences are slightly different. "I'm bored" is present tense. This means that currently at this very moment, you are feeling bored. "I get bored" means that you become bored of things often or easily, however you are not bored at this current point in time. Example: I get bored easily when it comes to video games. Example: I am so bored right now!
