> If the LLM went away tomorrow I'd still know how to do most things in Linux, set up my opnsense router, reinstall xcp-ng, do everything in docker, and a boatload of other things that would've been so much more tedious to learn before an LLM.
This makes sense, but i'm assuming you have some sort of technical background to begin with? I imagine people that have been around pre-LLMs would be better equipped for not only prompting the LLMs for accurate information, but also internalizing that information. I wonder if the post-LLM generation would be the same.
: Though I imagine that there's going to be a cutoff date for people born before a certain point pre-LLMs too. Old people rn seem to be much more blindly accepting of whatever the LLMs spit out than younger adults.
This I agree with. But it goes for people's attention spans due to social media, hopelessness because of the insane top-heavy economy and climate change, and a whole load of other stuff piled on top of it all. I feel really bad for the kids these days. There are of course ways to prevent kids from using AI but I bet it'd work as well as preventing kids using social media (they'll just find a way around the rules).
