This is exactly how I feel. I didn't get into this job, with low salary and a rootless existence well into my 30s (away from my husband!), to outsource the work. I want to do the work, I really REALLY want to do the work.
@spacewhalerider.comGetting real tired of "AI will revolutionize your workflow!" I am a scientist! I do what I do because I want to dig into things myself. I don't want offload that labor onto a computer, and I don't need to accelerate the rate at which I work, because the point of the work is to learn.
