Isn't the selling point of AI that it does it for you? What's to learn?

If the AI does it for you, you need to still learn what to do.

What is the "it" that AI does for you?

This is assuming you know how to get good work out of AI in the first place. But even that is turning out to be a skill in and of itself.

"It does X for you" is the point of many technologies. You still require knowledge to work around it.

Context helps immensely, for example. Think of what you can do that someone outside tech can't.

		The “it does X for you” aspect of technology is not completely without its downsides, for various values of X. For example, take “X” to be “walking”. Do we have the technology that allows us to pretty much never have to walk? Sure. As far as I am aware, though, we do not generally favour a lifestyle of being bound to a mobility aid by choice, and in fact we have found that not walking when able in the long run creates substantial well-being issues for a human. (Now, we have found ways to alleviate some of those issues for those who aren’t able, but clearly it is not sufficient because we still walk.) The problem is exacerbated immensely as the value of X approaches something as fundamental to one’s humanity as “thinking”.
