AI and atrophy

My experience of AI so far:

Best case: useful sidekick for people with, or eager to develop, skills.

Worst case: useful for helping those talented people’s skills atrophy.

My expectation: We’ll see both more sidekicks, and more skill atrophy.

While I like to write all my own words, my own emails, my own code, my own everything…

Even if you do like to generate things…

Remember to at least keep up the skill, and stay comfortable with blank canvases, and the tension of the creative process.

Because it’ll become alien faster than you think it will.
