I have been wrestling with this exact feeling (and everything you posted) since the first day they released chatGPT to the public. As a software engineer / Maker, I can't possibly overstate how essential it is for me to be in the flow, writing software, building things and finding novel solutions to problems. If you take this away from my day-to-day job I have no idea what I would do with myself. I know I would be absolutely miserable.
People who are blindly "enthusiastic" and expressing their excitement about being able to "build things they never built before" "with such ease" are totally missing the mark. They're just being short-sighted and can't think about the logical implication of what it means when (in a few years) Products can be created simply by telling a computer what you wish for. Here is what happens then:
(1) The value and uniqueness of all products drops to near-0
(2) You can't create a business out of these "products" because anyone else can build them
(3) The only one profiting is the person or entity that owns the AI platform you're building your products on.
Why are people not revolting against companies who's mission statement is to "build AGI" is beyond me. it's just humans being completely oblivious as always. it's not like we haven't seen this with climate change.
