Seems like with all AI-enabling and just works out of the box experiences with VSCode and alike, makes GNU Emacs absolete. I'm aware of AI packages for GNU Emacs, but don't think is worth the investiement so much; I would mostly save it for org mode, TUI, and some other few packages. But for programming, it doesn't seem lile worth the investment, and use VSCode instead.
Certainly knowing things will always be valuable - but the effect of assistants and LLMs may be to change what it is valuable to know by devaluing a great heap of current generation’s programmers’s stock and trade.
As an addenda: by value in the above I mean “instrumental value” or more specifically, valuable to the rich who want to exploit the skills of others to become yet richer. There is always intrinsic value to knowing for the people who love to know.

If you don't already know this video, you would benefit a lot from it, I think.

Hahahah actually this in conjunction with Lex's talks/interviews is probably what got me thinking more about all this. Masterpiece anyway
