I think you and OP are both right.

You are right because it does feel like shit. I'm not experiencing it with AI, but I did experience it several times with technology already. Not a good feeling!

And OP is right because that's what you can actually do - moving on. The thing you like, in the form you liked it, is already gone forever. What you can do on a human level is to take this experience, grieve for what has been lost to you, and later find a way to move on. What I can say is that I always something that ignites that spark in me, no matter how many times I have felt that I have lost it.
