I am so confused by this. Why does the existence of an AI that can tell you what to do mean that knowledge is useless? This is like saying teaching calculus to children is useless because every integral they can solve has been solvable by WolframAlpha since 2009.

Why bother learning drawing at all, if an AI can draw better than you? Presumably because you, yourself, want to draw.

A lot of people want to draw because they enjoy it, but they also enjoy showing it to others and seeing them enjoy it.

AI art currently mostly sucks, but if we solve that, there's an infinite supply of art that will be more to your friends taste than anything you want produce.

And as to Wolfram alpha: people here, on this site, argue that mental math is unnecessary because of calculators.
