Another hobby soon to be taken away by Transformer Models.

Modeling is a process to help explain phenomena. I'm doubtful a particular deep neural network architecture can replace even the few examples provided in the article. It might be a useful tool to augment, but it won't replace the high level idea of being able to build and interpret computer models.
Hobbies don't go away because there's a more efficient way of doing something, because they don't have to be profitable.
