Yeah. AIs let you exist without learning. A great advance for the brainless.

If everyone is just vibe coding elisp, who is left to learn it deeply and push it forward as a language and ecosystem? Or is AI just going to do that too. Very unfortunate world we live in

They'll sabotage you while you fool yourself into thinking you're learning.

Again, a great advance for the brainless.
