I prefer not letting my brain rot. You do you though.

Everyone only has a finite time on this planet.

You can be dedicated to Biomedical Medical science and your whole world may revolve around it. You may be the smartest person in any given room, although sometimes it might not be worth learning something else given your time constraints or energy constraints.

If said Biochemist needed to write a simple Python script, why would he bother learning Python, setting up the .env and debugging when an AI could do it and he could go back to doing whatever he was doing?

I don't need to learn every single linux cli tool flag in existence, it's not going to actually improve my life materially.

I bet you don't understand any of the maths/physics that I work with. You see, I prefer not to waste my time with things that machines can do faster. Some people like the illusion of mastery though.

the illusion of mastery is the Dunning Kruger llms are giving to everyone.

if it works, it's not Dunning Kruger. I don't have mastery of assembly or masonry. I give the request and the work gets done. It's management.
