Isn't there a risk that this learning is too superficial to actually stay around and impact your thinking in the long run? How I experience it at least, there is no free lunch. Something that gives you knowledge and experience will almost by definition be painful and uncomfortable. We use AI because it is faster, but that speed has a consequence.

Someone else hit on it: a lot this discussion is about whether we as individuals see collection and maintenance of pure knowledge as the goal, or achievement of outcomes. I’d say both are valid. I’m definitely an outcome person. I like making things. I’m taking a multi-year break from a decades-long CNC ceramics project, and I have no doubt my knowledge and skills will atrophy. That’s fine, I’m confident I can pick them up again if/when I return. If I fail to work hard enough on understanding the physics of alternate tunings and rely “too much” on AI to produce a piece, I’m ok with that. If and when I hit a wall and AI isn’t giving the results I want, I’ll dive deeper.
