I feel like you slightly miss both points.

> Training must start from the basics though.

Sure, but the point is that at some point (e.g. when starting a PhD) one needs to do research, not learn the basics. And LLMs make that harder, because they solve the "easy research" part.

Take a young lion "fighting/playing" with another young lion as a way to learn how to fight, and later hunt. And suddenly they get TikTok and are not interested in playing anymore. Their first encounter with hunting will be a lot harder, won't it?

> People pay coders to build stuff that they will use to make money and I can happily use an AI to deliver faster and keep being hired.

Again, that's true but missing the point: if you never get to be a "good coder", you will always be a "bad vibe coder". Maybe you can make money out of it, but the point was about becoming good.
