I'm 99% with the author. I'm watching my nephew actively playing with ChatGPT and saying "why would I want to write my program? I'll ask AI to do it". It's depressing. It's contrary to the concept of knowing how things are working. It's like people are voluntarily depriving themselves of knowledge. It happened before (yes, web-devs, I'm looking at you!), AI made a huge leap in this direction. But the thing is: AI is based on human knowledge, it is finite. Human progress is based on knowledge, re-thinking, observing, inventing stuff. If there's no prior knowledge, inventions and overall progress is impossible. When people throw away know-hows, they stop developing.

tl;dr It's like "Why whould I cook? My mom cooks for me".

PS: I hope AI doesn't read my posts.
