it turns out it's really hard to get a man to fish with a pole when you don't teach them how to use the reel

I'm not sure if this was the intention of the analogy, but fishing poles don't have reels.

If AGI is coming, won't there just be autofishers and no one will ever have to fish again, completely devaluing one's fishing knowledge and the effort put in to learn it?

		It’s not a great analogy but... “Autofishers” are large boats with nets that bring in fish in vast quantities that you then buy at a wholesale market, a supermarket a bit later, or they flash freeze and sell it to you over the next 6-9 months. Yet there’s still a thriving industry selling fishing gear. Because people like to fish. And because you can rarely buy fish as fresh as what you catch yourself. Again, it’s not a great analogy, but I dunno. I doubt AGI, if it does come, will end up working the way people think it will.

In regards to copilot, they’ve also been led on a fishing expedition to the middle of a desert

Or give them a stick with twine and a plastic fork as a hook, as is the case with Copilot.
