This resonates a lot with how I felt about it, too. I came to the conclusion that if you cannot fight it, join it and search for other things that can be fun. I wrote a blog post about it which I will link, but to give you a summary: People don't pay you for having fun, they pay you for solving problems and creating something that sells, and AI often makes me faster in achieving that. So the fight is futile. What remains valuable are the outcomes, so one should start owning the outcomes instead of the tool to achieve them. Find joy in solving real problems for real people, find joy in becoming one of the best at using AI and seeing usage of it itself as a craft one can be proud of, and find joy in producing quality output with AI. If AI is bad at producing quality outputs, wouldn't it be a lot of fun to figure out how to change that? If you want to read my thoughts on the matter in more detail, here is my blog post: https://fabianletsch.de/blog/ai-made-me-hate-my-job/ https://fabianletsch.de/blog/ai-made-me-hate-my-job/
