A student DM'd Matt Pocock saying that after taking his courses, they became the "AI person" at their company and now run internal trainings — but feel guilty, as if taking work away from the instructor. Pocock responded that this is exactly his dream end state: knowledge is still valuable, and becoming the go-to AI person at your company can genuinely change your career. The original poster added that AI is only making imposter syndrome worse.
