When a student surpasses the teacher, that's supposed to be a good thing.

  That's not really relatable because a student can only replace one teacher. When it comes to software, it's more so like saying that one student can replace all the teachers. We're seeing this now with self driving vehicles and the trucking industry. Once the software gets good enough and it's approved, there'll be a massive push for it's adoption and I'm sure that within roughly 3 years, about 70% of truckers will be replaced from that single breakthrough. Then comes taxi drives, maybe pilots and train operators in another 8 years or so. It'll be a cascade of lay-offs and that's just with this technology. So while it's a good thing that a student surpasses the teacher, this isn't exactly that same scenario.

    Sure, but this phenomenon is not new. It's called creative destruction: innovators discover a market advantage, creating new industries while destroying the old.
