This is nothing new. Every few years there's a shift you have to adapt to. In terms of web technology: vanilla JS, then prototype.js/scriptacoulous -> jQuery, then React/Vue/Angular, then Next.js/Nuxt, now Vibe Coding where prompting is a new layer on top. Same with CSS -> Less, Scss -> Bootstrap, Tailwind. Now with vibe coding as new layer, I don't write CSS anymore. The developers and consultants who refused to move with each wave got left behind. AI is the current wave and it will be the next basic computer skill.

Outside of the coding world, AI adoption seems to be functionally complete. When it came out, literally years ago now, people explored it, defined where it would be useful, implemented it, and moved on with their lives. They have what they want from it, and are creeped out by the idea of taking it farther.

It is only in the coding/tech silos where people are still pushing to take it farther and farther. I simply don't see the market desire for it in other areas of life.
