I am a US citizen and see that I am exempt for ETIAS due to having a resident permit for France. Although from what I read I shouldn't use the automated gates:

Unfortunately, the new automated passport controls can only read passports, there is no option to also show a visa or residency card.

Residents of France, therefore, will have to avoid the automated gates and instead go to manned passport control booths, in order to be able to show their residency documents and avoid starting the 90-day ‘clock’.
