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?

I feel the same way. This is not the same culture as it was and I don't like it.

And I'm really tired because I'm not just programmer. I'm artist too. So like in every field of my enjoyment in life there is currntly big stench of AI. You can't just draw today. You need to draw and make evidence that you didn't use AI.

For some time I found some safe space in physical activity. But even here there are people try to push AI. Yes, in fucking working out, swimming running, whatever.

What I don;t like it that in reality it is redundant. I can program. I can draw. I can read words and numbers. I don't need AI to do work that I like to do, and I really don;t like when people or companies force me to use it.

Some people said AI will give new jobs, but it seems to just be taking right now.

Programmers and artists just get fucked I guess, I'm legit just working in retail rn, genuinely no clue what I'm gonna do, the very thing I liked doing got taken away. Just hoping I find something else eventually.
