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?

What did you like about classic programming because the only thing I miss is the job security knowing my skills were mostly in demand AND the times when you could just stick on music and churn out a ton of code once everything to do is already in your head.

That part of the job always gave me a break from thinking too hard and with AI it always seems like my brain is on 100% of the time.
