Is anyone else in their 40s quietly terrified that their 20 years of experience is becoming a liability because of AI?

I’ve spent two decades automating systems. I’m the guy who builds the tools that displace people. But lately, I’m looking at my own colleagues, people with incredible judgment, deep institutional knowledge, and real human empathy, and I see them being told to 'just learn AI' as if their entire career was just a collection of tasks.

It feels like we're being told our wisdom doesn't matter if we can't write a prompt.

Am I the only one seeing this? How are you actually handling the feeling that the ground is shifting under 20 years of work?
