If the agent does everything for you it means it can do everything for the next person. At that point you're replaceable and have no value in your field. Learn things deeply even if you use AI because its the deep knowledge workers that will keep getting hired.

The problem is that this realistically is only applicable and actionable to a subset of the labor pool, and that subset is decreasing.
There are a lot of people who discovered that their "deep knowledge" and "deep skill" wasn't as deep as they thought (read: "deep" enough to make them irreplaceable to their employer). People are generally pretty good at overestimating their value.
Right, like I hope your deep knowledge wasn't something you can just ask Claude!
The depths of knowledge required to beat Claude will only grow with time. "Deep" knowledge will become everyday normal knowledge, and will eventually offer no competitive advantage whatsoever. Continuous education takes a lot of effort and money, and returns are ever diminishing.
