We Need Guidelines for Learning and AI

A lot of ink is being spilled about the effects AI is having on learning and education.

The drawbacks are obvious. For many classroom assignments, AI is now good enough that it can simply do your homework for you. But having AI do your homework is self-defeating. You can’t learn without doing the work.

That said, the opportunities AI may provide are numerous. Alongside its drawbacks, AI also brings

Quotes by Scott H. Young  (?)

“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: The Essential Guide To Mastering Hard Skills And Future-Proofing 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: The Essential Guide To Mastering Hard Skills And Future-Proofing 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: The Essential Guide To Mastering Hard Skills And Future-Proofing Your Career
