To me it just seems like the same old knee-jerk luddite response people have to any powerful new technology that challenges that status quo since the dawn of time. The calculator did not erase math wizards, the television did not replace books and so on. It just made us better, faster, more productive.
Sometimes there is an adjustment period (we still haven't figured out how to deal with short dopamine hits from certain types of entertainment and social media), but things will balance themselves out eventually.
Some people may go full-on Wall-E, but I for one will never stop tinkering, and many of my friends won't either.
The things I could have done if I had had an LLM as a kid... I think I've learned more in the past two years than ever before.
