I'm really not, though, any more than I "had to" learn JavaScript 20 years ago or blockchains 5 years ago (neither of which I did). Hell, I still use Perl day-to-day.

Good for you! Most people will, though. If I hadn't learnt JavaScript, I couldn't work on a large chunk of the projects that put bread on the table for the past 5-10 years.

If most folks don't learn AI (or its shortcomings and practicalities of it), then they will not be as competitive in the job market. Corpos don't care about the flaws.
