On one hand I will grow old knowing I'll always have a job because a lot of kids never will have researched anything in their lives and won't know how to deal with anything an LLM can't solve. On the other hand between this and most kids having had a 2 year covid gap in their learning, who the heck is going to pay my retirement and be my doctor when I'm old?

When I was young 20-30 years ago older people were saying that the Internet would make us dumb. Why learn anything when information is always readily available one search request away? Videogames were supposed to make me a blood-thirsty maniac, and don't even get me started on readily available porn. "Kids these days are lazy and don't want to learn" is one of the oldest memes in human history, with documented use going almost as far back as writing itself.
