Disagree. Some material is just timeless or even just having a name is good to go on compared to knowing nothing before.
AI is nice but never gives the same answer, will tunnel you if you have zero idea on the topic, and can be outright wrong or refuse to answer.

When you start to get closer to the hardware or even working the security the side. A lot of the basics carries forward or may be explained by an author in a way that just clicks. For example one awesome list recommended the book Practical Malware Analysis which even over 10 years later is a fantastic ground bed for people looking to get into reverse engineering or working with malware. From there a person can spring forward into modern tools and carry on from there.
Software tends to not fall into that category, though.
