This is how I feel as well pretty much.

It's interesting you mention the loss of knowledge. I've heard that China has adopted AI in their classrooms to teach students at a much faster pace than western countries. Right now I'm using it to teach me how to write a reverb plug-in because I don't know anything about DSP and it's doing a pretty good job at that.

So maybe there has to be some form of understanding. I need to understand how reverb works, how DSP works in order to be able to make decisions on it, not necessarily implementation. And some things are hard enough to just understand and maybe that's where the differentiation comes in
