No, you're not. I'm ~25 years into programming, and I haven't been more amazed by a tech stack yet. It's amazing, it's everything we dreamed about, and if handled carefully, with curiosity and a desire to learn it's really helpful and productive.

The best thing for me personally is that it helps me start things I know I wouldn't have touched otherwise. Knowing how complex things can get is almost like writer's block sometimes. The various tools help with that, and I've started taking my various "ideas" from notes and slowly working up the PoC / MVP chain. And I'm having fun again!

Simon Wilson has a recent article where he basically makes the point that "I don't even care about the will it / will it not debate about AGI, the tech is here now, and it's useful to me". I feel the same way.

> I'm wondering it's really almost a personal issue

For a lot of people it is. The various media we consume, and especially social networks that are one-to-many have instilled this "identity everything". From politics to tech, people take it extremely personal and put their entire identity behind an idea. Another aspect is that saying "I was wrong" is seen like something beneath an "influencer", and these platforms push people into doubling and tripling down on their takes. So a person that has associated the idea of their identity being "against AI", will continue to be / pose against it over and over again.
