Welcome to real life. I've had similar thoughts to you but in the context of writing. Many coding tutorials I wrote last year can now be done with GPT-4. The same tutorials that I wrote last year got me a lot of exposure on various sites and directories, but that hasn't been the case since early this year.

I imagine it's like this for many people. And, personally, I'm trying not to think/dwell on it, and simply move on with life and projects and work. Whatever happens, I know for a fact I don't have control over it.

The seed of disruption has now been planted, so we have to wait and see in which direction it grows. But I think a big wave will eventually come that will displace a lot of jobs in one big swoop.

This is what I think as well. I don't know how to prepare for it, though. I'm currently trying to find an "escape hatch", but it's rough because I can't think of a alternate path that isn't at risk of the same fate. I have no answers, just empathy.
