#2Once I witnessed the impressive capabilities of ChatGPT, I too reached the same conclusion. However, I believe this extends beyond just the realm of blogs.

It's conceivable to me that ChatGPT may eventually through some legal/illegal means gather that published knowledge and make it not economically worthwhile for people to work on those types of programming books.

See integrating LLMs with knowledge stores a la RDF triples or anything else really if you leverage something like LLamaIndex/LangChain.
"If I were 26 in the 90s I'd be well off". Also don't necessarily worry about your career ending because "AI". Keep er movin. (And knowledge hoarding sounds gross)
