Today, a simple google search will tell them the correct answer for the quiz question, why bother with discussing the actual answer, the lore and the facts behind it, etc! This is just one example of a creative skill which is rapidly degrading among humans and already taken over by Turing machines.
Or you could acquire more general knowledge than ever before. It's devalued knowledge economically but it hasn't stopped anyone from pursuing it.
Machine learning is the same. It has the ability to eliminate many jobs, but that's not the fault of the tool, it's the fault of the economic system it exists in.
- A new new "self-created" problem, with no solutions. Weeeee!
Corporations aren't using it right.
It's all about money and bleeding people of joy till your business is wealthy. ... At least in America.
Are "we" (humankind) creating AI at all? I wouldn't call Stable "Humans have 6~8 fingers per hand" Diffusion and large "potatoes are active, oranges are passive" models "intelligent".
Consider the already degraded thirst for GK or General Knowledge ever since google search became a thing.
Did thirst for general knowledge degrade due to websearch engines? Perhaps I'm an outlier, but I found them to have the opposite effect on me - I look for something, a barely related link pops up, "hey I'm now curious".

False dichotomy.
