Will AI Make Us Stupid?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how AI is going to affect the future of learning. If you’re just arriving, I’ve previously written about which sorts of skills will matter in an AI future and vibe coding as a possible model of what’s to come for skilled work.

Quotes by Scott H. Young  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Your deepest moments of happiness don’t come from doing easy things; they come from realizing your potential and overcoming your own limiting beliefs about yourself.”
Scott H. Young, Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career

“Learning, at its core, is a broadening of horizons, of seeing things that were previously invisible and of recognizing capabilities within yourself that you didn't know existed”
Scott H. Young, Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career

“Beyond principles and tactics is a broader ultralearning ethos. It’s one of taking responsibility for your own learning: deciding what you want to learn, how you want to learn it, and crafting your own plan to learn what you need to. You’re the one in charge, and you’re the one who’s ultimately responsible for the results you generate. If you approach ultralearning in that spirit, you should take these principles as flexible guidelines, not as rigid rules. Learning well isn’t just about following a set of prescriptions.”
Scott H. Young, Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career
