Tools we use as experts shouldn’t be the same tools a novice should use 💻 #AI

For the next generation, telling them that I want to take away this tool that is giving a speed and efficiency and quality advantage when it comes to work, not giving them that tool because... Well, that's not how I did it in my day. Is that hypocritical to go backwards? You are an adult producing work. They are a child learning how to do work. The tools you use for your job are specifically engineered to make your job easier, but the tools we use as adults, as experts, to make our lives easier, are never the tool a novice should use to learn how to become an expert. So it's a problem called offloading versus outsourcing. Offloading is when an expert uses a tool to make their life easier, but it only works because your expertise allows you to immediately vet the output. When a kid uses the exact same machine, it's not called offloading, it's called outsourcing. In their case, they have nothing that are actually bringing to the machine. They can basically type something in, spit something out, copy it, paste it. In so doing, they will not have learned the facts, they will not have learned the skills, they will not have learned the abilities, they will have now been learned dependence on the machine. The tool is not the skill. The tool is the means by which you demonstrate your skill.
