> How do you feel?
My experience is all encompassing. AI has attacked and destroyed almost every aspect of my previous identity over the last 2 years, as well as all of my achievements. My life today as a result is very different. Almost all of the things I used to do for fun or to pass time I no longer do.
I documented this in another comment recently so won't rehash but if you're interested, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49334614 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49334614
For me it's all of the writing and little projects I created which are now basically useless that hurts the most. I can try to find other ways to be useful going forward but I'll never get back decades of lost time. I have so much pointless knowledge polluting my head.
I'm a massive AI doomer though and fairly sure RSI is nearing or maybe here. Given this the next few years are likely to make any current concerns about identity seem so small and silly that I'm trying to focus on the things that matter and trying to live in the moment.
I'm basically living like I've been diagnosed with terminal cancer – just trying to absorb as much of life as I can and not worrying too much about the future which has been taken from me.
