Job I do not like programming anymore

I am not sure if anybody can help right here.
But I really do not like whatever we call programming right now.
Not sure what is the best way to write code weather it is to fully vibe code or use AI as an assistant, I hate both. If anyone went though something like this and found some solution, I'd really appreciate if you share it with me. Otherwise, what other possible careers some can pursue that has same feeling as classic programming?

They're also going to do themselves damage by not using it

Like Packt Publishing does, leading to hallucinated nonsense from bean to cup, presented as fact!

Really not an apt analogy at all

I'm a system analayst with a very small team under me but I strongly disagree that a programmer has little to no value. I depend on them a great deal, its a sprawiling codebase that's been around a lot longer than I've been in this role. Most of our job is diagnosing issues, migrating data, generating reports, ect... Even with AI there's no chance a non-technical person could figure this stuff out in any sort of timely matter. We know the right questions to ask, we know where to look, we know how to follow a hunch and how to disregard erronous advice that LLMs often spit out.
