CSS is badly designed and uses a confusing, separate DSL with arbitrary rules designed before the Internet was widely used, before web apps existed, before smartphones etc

It's trash and throwing it out is good. Not learning it is good. Tailwind is a solution to a real problem.

More importantly, AI is good at it already and it's unlikely humans will need to understand HTML/CSS at all within a year or two. There's no reason to spend time learning how the gears work, just put the cover back on

“CSS is bad” Why? “Because reasons.” Care to explain? “No need to learn it anymore, my AI can do it for me” Okay, but why is it bad to learn it “Reasons”

Uh… what?

Webshits never stop to wonder why they don’t see so much hand wringing over layout and styling by developers of anything else

Yup. Spent a decade of my career writing CSS every day, I was what you would call a "guru" and have written easily hundreds of thousands of lines of it over the years. Haven't touched a class or a stylesheet in nearly a year now, and probably never will again. Good riddance.

Same for me, I started web development with Netscape and IE5, and all the browser specific CSS declarations and media queries, checking on so many different browsers. Then all the trouble with positioning by inline blocks/float, then flex boxes. Now AI does all the HTML structure and CSS. Never have to do it again.
