The 3rd edition of my book Deep Learning with Python is being printed right now, and will be in bookstores within 2 weeks. You can order it now from Amazon or from Manning. This time, we're also releasing the whole thing as a 100% free website. I don't care if it reduces book sales, I think it's the best deep learning intro around, and more people should be able to read it.

This trick works because of anthropomorphism. If a human is exceptional at one thing, chances are they could have become exceptional at many other things all the same: their specialized skills are indicative of general skill acquisition ability. Not so with machines.

AI competence has always been very spiky, superhuman in some narrow domains and largely useless in others. The fundamental marketing trick of the AI industry is to make you believe the tallest spike is a floor.

All current debates about AI are predicated on the assumption that frontier AI training will always be expensive. But in the future, AI will not be based on the primitive stack of today, and both training and inference will be incredibly cheap.

So AI can't devalue them. Their value was not in their output, but in the fact they learned the ropes over time. The only way AI could devalue them is if it prevented them from gaining competence over time... oh wait

There is an interesting disconnect between the ability of models to successfully execute precise instructions (improving incredibly fast) and their ability to make sound decisions when faced with something not covered by the instructions (stagnating for a while).

@totlsota This is called "declarative programming" -- alternative to "imperative programming" (which is about writing down the rules)
