Yes, the existential threat isn't to learning, but to education in it's current form - and I suspect it'll simply struggle to keep up with the skills required. At present, we need skills in prompting and critically thinking about AI output. But as we move through OpenAI's outline roadmap towards level 5 organisational AI, even those skills probably won't be that valuable. Maybe it'll be subtle kind of strategic vibing that humans will uniquely bring. How you train people to do this kind of intuitive reading of situations is perhaps akin to Polynesians navigating across oceans without a compass, but by reading complex signals of currents etc.
The year is 2030. You have an AI agent living in your smart glasses as you walk down a city street. It ambiently checks in with the agents of the boutiques you pass and alerts you if there’s something that will interest you.

I recently posted this elsewhere. Feels like a good fit here as well…

The future is going to be wild.
