The Stages of AI Grief

Assumed audience: People who work with AI daily - or are starting to - and have complicated feelings about it. I don't think I've ever had so much fun in my programming career as I do now. Which is strange, because a few weeks ago I was in a very different place. I was watching - in horror - as the machine on my desk was taking over my craft. Like most people I guess, I derive quite a lot of my identity from that craft; hence the horror. (Let's ignore for now whether that's a good thing or not.) I just watched it melt away. Like a block of ice in the sun; inexorable.
