Like with any tech there are dumb ways of using it and there are smart ways. Treating it as a "slot machine giving you the right answer" is a dumb way - it may work for a bit, but it won't carry you very far because everyone else can also do this. No one is stopping anybody from digging deeper into problems than ever before using this technology - that's the smart way.

I'm amazed at how steep the AI learning curve continues to be and how people are spread so far apart on it. I think supercharged learning with AI and agents is undervalued at this point but that more people will realize its utility over time, especially as a complement to delegating work.

It also makes me think about the temptation to stop thinking with these tools, i.e. "cognitive surrender". Addy Osmani wrote a nice blog post about this: https://addyosmani.com/blog/cognitive-surrender

Yeah, nobody is under any pressure to work even faster than before. I don't know what everyone is complaining about!
