the biggest threat of AI isn’t layoffs, economics, or destroying humans. it’s eliminating the need for painful and critical thinking. banging your head, read docs you hate, spending a week on a bug, it’s all gone, and i too believe there is a downside to that. here’s the deal: acknowledge that whatever you use AI for will most likely slip away from your cognitive grasp over time. the struggle that ai has taken from you was a critical and painful signal that you were actually growing. how are we supposed to learn and grow post-AI? i don’t think there is yet a simple answer to that. maybe for now, everyone can see how they can cope with this. maybe set out a portion of your time AI-free just learning/coding like 5 years ago and accept that you’re doing it slower than sb with AI but you’re actually learning things. what even is learning? are you supposed to *learn* like you needed to do 10 years ago? how are you supposed to be better than the tool you’re leaning on? these are very important questions that need answers. maybe you can think about them too.
