> I mean we have NVDA's CEO saying to not learn to code, and lot of non-techies quoting him these days.

Simply planting the seed of ignorance for generations to come. If people do not learn, they need someone/something to produce this, and who else is better than the gold mine(AI) to supply you these knowledge? Also, as long as cryptocurrency and AI boom goes, shovel sellers(i.e. NVDA) gains to profit, so it is in their best interest to run the sales pitch.

Also, once people think that all is gone, future is bleak, people will not learn and generate novel ideas and innovations, so all knowledge, research and innovation will slowly get locked away behind paywalls of people who can afford select few with the knowledge and access to wield the AI tech. Think of the internet of our gone years minus all the open and free knowledge, all the OSS, all the passionate people contributing and sharing. Now replace that with all the course sites where you must pay to get access to anything decent and replace the courses with AI.

At best, I see all these as feeding the fear and the laziness to kill off the expensive knowledge and the sharing culture, because if that is achieved, AI is the next de-facto product you need to build automation and digitalization.
