Where will the experts come from in the future if no one learns and we just accept whatever the Markov chain generates for us from the Bayesian database of old information?

Good question, but that isn't incentivized by capital. We're in an era of massive student loans and unaffordable housing. Unless there's a clear and direct incentive to learn, people will take the easiest path. Life is tough enough as-is.

The number of people that can actually dedicate their life to producing new knowledge is tiny. It's not really that motivating of a reason.

[sifar]

However, we don't know beforehand, which of those people would produce new knowledge.

I'm not arguing to not teach children stuff. All I'm saying is that LLMs made me lose motivation to start learning stuff that I'll never be an expert in.
