The fact that a machine can do something better than humans doesn’t automatically make learning it pointless.

We still teach arithmetic and algebra despite computers being vastly better at calculation. We teach spelling, grammar and essay writing. We even teach history and geography while everyone permanently has a device in their pocket that can look up almost any fact in seconds.

How else would you be developing the mental models required to understand, question and verify anything?
