Beautiful article. Believe it or not, the author actually addresses the issue with AI at the end.

Here’s a snippet:

This is the danger of bypassing both System 1 and System 2. If we no longer struggle to learn (System 2), and no longer build intuition (System 1), we become entirely dependent on tools we don’t understand. We trade capability for convenience.

And my favorite:

In my personal work, I avoid chasing trends. I choose tools that are battle-tested. Tools I can reason about. Sure, at work, I use whatever the job demands. But when I build for myself, I want to understand every line.

And this one here is the goldmine:

Learning to learn is a noble idea. But more important is learning to unlearn, and knowing when to resist the comfort of automation. Because one day, when the machine stops, we’ll need to remember how to think.

What a pleasant read!
