How to deal with AI - neurodivergent
AI is referring to LLMs.
I'm really struggling with this huge push for AI to be used in my day job. I know I hate change, so that's part of it. But moreso, I absolutely love what I do. I love the problem solving, the challenges, the code writing, and the feeling of when it works. It truly gives me purpose. I hate that I made work my life, but it is truly my joy.
Now with AI, I feel as though I am supposed to be giving my purpose in life to a machine... either by replacing me or "making my work faster". It feels like my body is on fire when I think about how angry it makes me that this is the way this industry is going. But when I talk to people about it, I feel insane because I get met with "well you better do it or get left behind" which makes me feel even more upset.
And I'm so frustrated with my coworkers turning brainless by giving their last brain cell to these AI tools... but I digress.
So my ask is:
- are others feeling the same?
- does anyone have any practical advice so I don't get left behind, but also don't take away my passion?
- anyone know how to find a job that may feel more like using AI as a helpful tool instead of a replacement? Or even better- cares about our world and is anti LLM?
