I think this has already happened to some extent, with social media etc. crowding out reading books. Even higher quality stuff like HN pales in comparison with what a good book brings, and it's a daily struggle to keep reading. At least we're (mostly) not scrolling feeds all day at work. AI is going to be like this for all our professional competencies.
