I'm no longer writing code from scratch, as I used to do before. So, very soon, it will be "AI can now do X" makes it so I can't also do X? Same with many creative works. Radio music already sounds so plastic. I lost interest in crafting my text drafts because I can just dump some ugly text and get it refined by AI.

You no longer have to grow your own food, can go to supermarket, but doesnt stop you from still doing it.

I'm confused. It feels like you are saying you did those things as a means to an end.

Like saying I no longer walk because I can drive. I no longer cook because Doordash exists. I no longer play piano because midi exists.

I mean i guess, but it seems like you didn't LIKE crafting the text or coding from scratch, you just wanted the outcome. If we are talking purely about work, I understand that its about being productive and it sucks to have a job shift to something you enjoy less.

But for daily life? I dont see how it changes, maybe its a tech thing where people think about making their daily lives more productive, but most people dont.
