I don't think so.
I don't think so.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be making this episode.
I think we can have positive and have a positive vision for ourselves in the new AI world by practicing some discernment
And continuing to use the skills we know could be overtaken by AI, but still feel good for us to practice and make us feel human.
So just to quickly finish off this episode, I want to go through some ways to counteract the impact of AI on your brain and psychology.
Number one, let thinking cause you friction.
Friction is what builds skill the way discomfort is what builds muscle.
Don't think of friction as the cost of thinking or the side effect of thinking that needs to be eliminated.
Think of it as the reward you get for thinking.
Your brain benefits from problem solving.
It benefits from what we call productive confusion.
Productive confusion is when something feels difficult in the moment but strengthens your capacity in the future.
There is this tremendous 2014 article by researchers at the University of Boulder, Colorado called literally The Benefits of Confusion for Learning.
which basically tested this theory.
It tested this theory that things that are harder and contain contradictions and conflicts in multiple sources teach us more.
And what they found was that that is true.
Friction in learning promotes deeper understanding and intelligence.
One way to practice that, the 30-minute rule.
Before you commit to AI, before you say I'm going to AI this, chat to EBT this, before I'm going to ask chat, commit to 30 minutes of searching.
