Conversely, AI is doing the opposite of destroying my informal computer study. I've gone from a windows 10 user who "always wanted to learn computers", to someone who knows a little bit of HTML, CSS, JS, some rust, and linux's bash now. AI has been a great tutor for that. It seems I love learning about computers, but that the docs that teach how they work have never been that great (for beginners).
For the record I mean that AI has been great at being a tutor for me. I don't use it to generate code... Otherwise, what would be the point of learning? People do say AI makes people lazy, and I can agree it's also making "learning computers" a lazy endevour for me, but that's pretty nice. When it was a high effort endevour I wasn't doing it at all, so I'm very happy with AI making it easier to learn computers.
