I hear your stress, and that sounds awful to experience.

Imagine experiencing the leap from assembly to Python, almost overnight. That would feel terrifying as an assembly engineer, but people would realize at least for certain types of projects, they are now significantly more productive using Python. Moreover, that new speed quickly becomes the expectation. Assembly programmers have their niche, but there's significant demand for python people. Demand grew to meet supply.

I think artists are experiencing a similar crisis. Me, with no art skills can make beautiful pictures. However, my friends who were already artists are making breathtaking things by embracing these tools. My view is that these tools are ultimately going to move artists from assembly to Python.
