There's a time and a place for certain tools.

Sometimes I like playing chess at the park with strangers or friends. Sometimes I like playing chess online with friends in another country.

Sometimes I like to play games online with my siblings. Sometimes I like to invite people over to play video games with me on the couch.

Sometimes I wanna watch a movie in the theater. Sometimes I wanna fire up Netflix and watch that same movie, but on my couch.

Sometimes I wanna vibe code an entire app in a weekend. Sometimes I wanna play code golf to solve a puzzle, where LLM usage defeats the purpose.

None of these are being replaced in my life despite having more "advanced" options. If anything, I get to enjoy things more because I have more options and ways to enjoy them.
