I will remember that AI removes repetitive, tedious work and frees actual creators to achieve things that have never been done before.

Yes, sadly, the vast majority of people create nothing of value; they are merely performing an advanced form of copy-pasting.

That certainly includes me. Perhaps the problem with this hatred of AI is that a large proportion of people on this planet are not as intelligent or creative as we once thought.

Their work will be almost entirely automated.

I've wrote a warehouse management system, and other apps for a medium sized business. It is running the business. I helped changed how the business operates. However, I really did not create anything that has not existed before.

I just learned how to write code and applied it. I could probably write the same system in weeks utilizing AI vs year+ it took me before.

I have fixed feelings about AI, on one hand I hate tedious coding tasks, writing tests, fixing small logical bugs. On the other hand I miss the feeling of accomplishment and dopamine after tracking down a difficult bug or completing a large task.

I also do find it funny how large businesses are embracing AI but AI can empower smaller devs to create products that will compete with large business. I do wonder how the future will look like.
