I agree with "if you don’t use it, you lose it.” I think that is a big risk AI brings if we’re not intentional about how we use it. It can be so useful, but if we don't learn the skills we are trying to delegate to an AI, can we say we really know what were doing?
For example, as a writer - yeah you can get AI to write an essay for you. But unless you have put in the blood, sweat and tears to learning how to write great essays, you won't have the mental models or the subtle distinctions that a real writer has. You won't be able to see what a great writer sees because you didn't go through the experience of learning the craft for yourself.
Great point you make there, Sam. In a way that's similar to hiring someone for a role.
You can't effectively delegate the task if you don't how to do it.
And the example is spot on. It reminds me how top athletes perform. What separates them from the rest are those mental models that are developed through repetition and deliberate practice.
Thanks for the comment! I agree it's an interesting topic to discuss.

So glad I hung in with this post. Initially I thought it would all be about coding but it is very applicable to creators on SS as well.
Ha, appreciate the comment!
I used coding as an example ‘cause it’s the most recent one I’ve come across.
But it also applies to other different areas.
And as you rightly pointed out… it applies also to writers in this platform.
It feels like we're completely reliant AI already, though it's relatively new.
For a small segment of the population that’s true. They’ve gone way too deep with its usage.
It’s crazy to think that even 14 months ago, things we’re completely different.
Yes. In a very short time its insinuated itself into our lives to a degree that it's scary.
Fully agree with that.
