AI makes me feel like all the countless hours I spent in front of a computer learning hard things have now been reduced to nothing. Sure, there’s the experience I got. But the economic value of all those skills is trending toward $0.
What’s worse is that it isn’t any one thing. AI will eventually learn any skill any human can do, and do it far better, more consistently and for less cost than any human could. It’s hard for me to justify the expense (time, money, effort) on learning anything new when some LLM or model can and will do it better.
Why learn video production? Why learn 3D modeling? Why learn coding? Why learn any kind of art?
Why learn anything anymore? It’s not a sound financial decision.
