Every time you ask ChatGPT to write the difficult logic, prepare a plan, or do something creative, you are doing one thing: outsourcing friction.
And friction is where skill is built.
We are training our brains to believe: If I can’t instantly retrieve the answer, the machine will retrieve it for me.
This isn’t about being productive. This is about being functionally dependent. The moment we loose access to an LLM, we become clueless 3 year olds.
I might be wrong , i’ll write another post about accelerated learning through AI.
Calculators made us helpless at arithmetic. GPS made us helpless with maps. Autocorrect made us helpless at spelling. Humans are friction machines though. It is merely offset to some other domain.
