I am in the same boat but I am aware that it will eventually replace me whether I helped or not :(

Train it wrong, on purpose, as a joke. Like Wimp Lo!

If you think AI will replace you, you need train yourself.

I don't know - in my field there's a lot of "knowledge work" to be done, and if AI helps get it done faster...

Think of the ditch digging crews with shovels, do you think any of the ex-shovel jockeys feel bad that they've been mostly "replaced" with backhoes and tracked excavators?
