  Even with the /s I think you misunderstand. If you just want to configure your router, then AI is neat. If you want to learn and understand what's going on in the router as you set it up, then being given the answers basically teaches you nothing. It's the same reason why we don't give students the answers to things, we teach them to find the answers.

    Why would most people want to learn how a router works? It's the end goal that the vast majority of users want - i don't want to learn about routing tables, I just want to expose a port for plex, etc. Also, I could have AI craft a fascinating and engaging way of teaching router setup that actually helps me learn instead of wasting time searching through random forums form google results

        yes but last year it was between 20 and 80 percent, point being talk to me in 10 years and all errors around router behaviour will be completely missing from AI teaching tools
