I think there will always be people who want to look under the layers of abstraction, and people who don't care. All the abstractions we've created for computing has lowered the barrier of entry for people who want to create useful applications and otherwise don't care. If anything, LLMs make the process of learning for those in the former group much easier, something that only search really did previously.

I do think it's entirely plausible that a lot of people who otherwise would have wanted to learn more will grow up getting used to instant results and will simply not do anything the LLM can't do or tell them. Kind of similar to how my social media addicted brain gets antsy if it goes more than an hour without a fast dopamine hit (hence me being on HN right now...).
