Lost Skills We Sold for Convenience Over Commitment

In an era where AI can write your code and your essays, is struggle still a virtue? We have traded the slow, painful process of learning for the instant gratification of a prompt. But in doing so, we might be trading away our mastery.

TL;DR Efficiency vs. Expertise: We have optimized for speed, but we have stopped optimizing for understanding.
