This applies to basically all the projects I work on in my professional life — any joy or craft as been completely sucked out of my job, and I suspect it's going to stay that way for as long as "software engineer" is still a thing I can write on my tax return.
On the other hand, the lack of fulfillment from coding at work has pushed me to take up some personal projects that I never had the energy/motivation to work on before, and I'm finding a lot of satisfaction in that. Keeping AI the hell out of the code you own is still free.
I dunno, I care if it works well and I get joy out of it.
For example, Omarchy is completely vibed. But it's sparked my original love of computers. Great experience, really fun.
I've contributed bug reports to be sucked up by the AI maintainers (and the human ones of course). In that sense I care way more than I do about Ubuntu. I want Omarchy to succeed despite it being AI driven.
I don't.
