Ask HN: Is there a term for feeling sad about forced AI adoption?

I feel like I don't have a choice to accept it. If I want to keep my job I need to use it. I felt pride in making things with code but now that you can just type in words into a prompt and code comes out, it just feels empty now. There's no joy in writing code anymore doing this.

I know for my personal hobbies I can do that... I need money is the thing, I can't walk away yet but I think I will if this is how every job will be.

I'm not denying its capability it's like today I need to make a bluetooth android app that can do HFP today, NOW. I can't do that with my current knowledge but AI can... and anybody who can type can use it so why am I needed kind of thing.

So yeah right now my plan is to coast using these tools, do the things I enjoy to do then make enough money to get out. I'll write my own code for my own fun.

I've been a developer/writing code since 2013.
