It sounds like you replaced learning with trusting some code the internet gave you. Which sure, chatgpt is much better at, but this kind of tech is only a threat if your value is pasting in code you found on the internet. Most serious employers pay for your ability to learn.

I understand but what I’m trying to tell you is that ChatGPT basically prints money and people are still thinking along your line of thinking. Employers, employment, all that is changing. There will be experts with AI and then there will be the rest. It’s not going to equalize anything it’s going to make it worse! when you got something like that for free the whole entire dynamics of work change. ChatGPT prints money by replacing the most valuable labor programmers do and that’s search Google. If you feel like searching the web to piece together solutions has not been part of your job, perhaps you think you’ve memorized everything or you’ve got a nice bookshelf around. It totally takes skill to be good at Google search and write code. People put too much value on themselves and their own talents. They’re going to hold onto it as tight as they can. Those people are going to get affected because they’re going to resist the change and change is coming.

My use is similarish enough to parent. I’d frame it more as inverted, targeted learning. Instead of researching and learning a wide amount to do a specific task, i can learn a specific task with a tutor and learn a new system or technology or language inside out. This happens to result in useful monetizable output much faster (hours instead of weeks). I’m still flying the plane but it’s my tenth flight and my co-pilot has 80 years of experience sitting right there. sometimes they make up things or are only 90% right, but I can execute much much faster and fly through much more with them sitting there then when I can only learn by reading the entire manual of every plane I have to fly before getting in the cockpit.
