I feel erased.
I feel disrespected, not least because I fought against this every chance I got and I went unheard.
I feel moral injury, because I believe generative AI (which, let's face it, is why this is happening) to be a moral abomination and I do not want to be associated with it in this highly public fashion.
I feel angry.
I feel shame, because generative AI is a bubble and we will look like shortsighted fools in 3-5 years.
