From the article by Rich Hickey that is a counter point "'AI' is not a tool"

"You are only a software update from everything you've 'learned' being rendered obsolete by the latest algorithm. "

If you could be made obsolete by a collection of information, all teachers would have been made obsolete by Encyclopædia Britannica.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a famous person with a hot take.

I don't think he is saying the person becomes obsolete, just the stuff you 'learned' on that LLM because the LLM maker decided to change it.
