Why would AI make these age worse than, say, libraries or languages becoming obsolete?

I don't think a good learning resource gets worse just because there's a newer alternative.

Probably not, but they become irrelevant. The other day I found an old programming book at my parents’ and while it was still a terrific resource, I couldn’t image anyone learning a language from a book nowadays.

AI is doing the same thing but 100 times effectively than anything else.

How do you mean “these kind”?

Blog tutorials, guides, programming books and youtube tutorials. They are completely irrelevant in a time where you have a personal tutor willing to explain every single detail of a subject.

That's like saying your grandfather is irrelevant now that he's spawned children and grandchildren. Good luck to those personal tutors without this source material.

Relevance is overrated. I've been writing for myself. Writing articles about the implementation of my programming language helps crystallize my knowledge. It's been remarkably effective at ensuring I won't simply forget the subject matter in the future. The fact other humans might enjoy reading my articles is just a nice bonus.

How so?
