It's honestly not that deep. If AI increases productivity, we should accept it. If it doesn't, then the hype will eventually fade out. In any case, having attachment to the craft is a bit cringe. Technological progress trumps any emotional attachment.

I sincerely wonder how some people go around having 0 emotional attachment to any of their hobbies or passions - or maybe you're just extremely unfortunate and live your life completely focused on producing output for someone else.

Contributing to human welfare through technological advances and productivity gains is a much better place to deposit my hopes and emotions, imo.
