Most people are not motivated to continuously learn or dive deep or explore the boundary of knowledge. As a result, it's very likely AI will amplify or deepen the current skip gaps and create more. People who are good at learning and can deeply understand foundational concepts will be able to leverage AI to learn more, learn deeper, and solve harder problems on demand. People who resist learning will use AI as a cheating tool, eventually bringing themselves into a pickle.

Case in point, a PIAAC report back in 2013 said that only 9% of the US adults were considered proficient in math and complex reasoning. And the questions used by PIAAC were arguably just high-school level. Anecdotally, how many people have heard their professors or high-school teachers complain that most students couldn't even really grasp linear equations or distributed property (students can remember rules and pass high-school test, but many of them would be hopeless if they were to pass national entrance exams in other countries).
