I know this is not your main point, but common.

If this is true, AI would be the first tech impossible to learn 5 years after it appeared.

I look at it as like being able to start a fire in the woods without a lighter. It’s a skill, a helpful one even on the extremely rare occasions that it’s necessary. But realistically with even the bare minimum amount of prep, not a useful one.

If you have a deadline for starting a fire you won't be happy looking at an unskilled person holding a lighter under a bunch of wet twigs.

Common? Did you mean come on?
