There's a big difference between having something explained to you and developing expertise in it.
I don't see an AI-as-explainer future where expertise isn't sacrificed en masse.
Capitalism rarely supports a currently economically unproductive alternative for future good reasons.
The recent AI tech layoffs are a warning sign that corporate leaders will happily shoot their company's (and the future's) expertise to pad next quarter's financials and trust in 90% correct, but much cheaper, AI.

No, there isn't. You get things explained in University. Then you build on top of this knowledge.
