At some point, folks just want stability. I don't think you're at that point in your career, but the technology treadmill eventually burns everyone. Ironically, you're most likely going to use GenAI to counteract what is the same scenario (learning GenAI means I never have to learn again).

Yeah of course, and that sounds like a great hobby you can have (like the woodworking example in the article).

But if you expect to get paid, you need to keep up and stay productive.

And it doesn't burn everyone out. All of the best 50+ year old engineers I know use LLMs constantly.
