AI stages of grief
Denial — "It's fancy autocomplete / it just regurgitates what it finds on the internet"
Anger — "This is dangerous/soulless/tech is destroying the world/but it uses all the water."
Bargaining — "You'll always need a human to check it / it can't replace _____ / code was never the bottleneck"
Depression — "The job market is dead / I spent 20 years learning these skills and now..."
Acceptance — "I may have token psychosis."
