"will" is also making a conclusion or prediction, and to me we are still very very early in this technology, which will interact with socioeconomic cycles as things do
For me, in CS, Ai enables me to focus on and build higher level expertises. Today I think you have to be an expert in a thing to make Ai useful for that thing, and I suspect Ai will enable more people to level up their understanding of topics.
Certainly some people will use Ai to learn and others will use Ai as a shortcut. It's not a one outcome kind of thing, like any tool humans have built.
"AI Coding will Prevent Expertise if We Continue To Focus on Code Generation rather than Socratic and Educational Workflow Design"
...but I had to compress it for brevity! The points and studies I bring up in the essay support what you're saying.
Problem is: I'm seeing very little movement in that direction, but a whole lot around the abdication of responsibility when it comes to AI coding in general.
In a manner of speaking, yes. Now I've gotten to a point in my life where some more basic skills would actually be useful in pursuing the life I want to live. The problem is, it's good to know a lot of general stuff for the times when you need to pivot into doing something else.
But even in the same field, micro-pivoting needs to be done sometimes and AI also will make that harder because people will develop less manual skills to learn for themselves.
I'm not sure I agree with this line of thinking. For most of our early learning phase of life, there is a lot oversight and guidance. As adults, we often go to others to ask questions. Ai has separated the expert knowledge from the human meatbody. I find learning of all types easier with Ai available to help me.
