students will only need AI skills for the next 2-3 years, after which point AGI will render the "need" to have any skills meaningless as it would be to expect students to have woodworking or metalsmithing skills
I'm so, soooo sick of people claiming so certainly AGI will be there in X time. You don't know. Nobody knows. Anyone claiming they know are full of shit. Stop speaking in absolutes.
On the other hand, we actually do have a computer, with access to all knowledge, in our pockets, right now.
EDIT.
The point of the comment is not to say that you will in fact have all knowledge available. There's guidelines about how you're supposed to read here on HN.
The point was that this device that people could only dream of a few decades ago actually became available.
Maybe it's worth reminding people that you used to not be able to sit on your butt at home and still access just about any undergraduate level material you could think of, along with a street map of everywhere, as well as a way to take pictures, deal with your finances, and a zillion other applications.
All knowledge? Hardly. A ton of the things I research just aren't available except in hard copy - and even then, there may be only three or four copies in the entire country.
