It’s just that people in the field I work in mostly think books are outdated, which is of course complete nonsense, but somehow that’s how they define themselves.

No offense, but the people in your field sound like legit wackos lol
Next they’ll be saying public education is outdated.

Yep, unfortunately: A shocking number of people that I meet seem to think that jumping on every trend - no matter how ridiculous - is what sets them apart. But of course, that only applies to those who don’t have a clue about anything. It seems especially important to them to appear “modern,” and unfortunately, they don’t even realize how ridiculous that is. You probably know the type: the kind of people who post the most superficial nonsense on LinkedIn day in and day out.
I unfortunately have to deal with people like that a lot; it’s especially widespread among executives and so-called decision-makers. They see some tech trend and get so excited about it that they think they’re the most innovative geniuses of all, just because they can type a prompt into an LLM.
It’s a real shame that so many are so unreflective. At any rate, that’s often my impression when interacting with my clients.
