Benedict Evans’ take in Shane Parrish’s podcast helped me zoom out a bit on everything going on with the AI tech. It seems the real story of AI may be in how habits reset and new defaults take hold. That lens makes it easier to see where the shift is actually happening.
Thanks for sharing Danielle! Very interesting note, I’m listening it now. 
Frick - I can’t find the article to save my life right now but I think I read it on LinkedIn and the gist was that there are 2 ways people in different countries are using AI:
1. those who are using it to actually “Do” their jobs. Set AI on a task, go do something else, come back & said task is done.
2. those using it to help them do their jobs. Using it to research better ways to do things, testing said things, learning along the way & therefore becoming better at their jobs.
Lesson - some folks are having it do the job & learning nothing. So, they’ll never even learn to use the tool to it’s highest potential and they’ll be forever dependent on said tool. The others are learning, improving and also learning to add better prompts, therefore delivering better information and using the tool to it’s best potential while increasing their own.
It’s frightening to think that there may soon be an entire set of folks who are entirely dependent And not even able to use it well. Here’s to those on the learning side!
You’ve captured a clear division between delegators and augmentors.
The risk with the “delegation” approach is real: it creates dependence. Someone who just hands off the work to AI misses the chance to learn the underlying principles of the task or how to actually prompt the tool effectively. They end up relying on a tool they don’t truly know how to maximize.
The smarter path is augmentation. We should be using AI as a partner—to learn faster, test better, and ultimately develop our own judgment. That’s how we maximize the tool’s true potential and increase our own professional value.
It’s a huge lesson for career growth right now.
ah ha - found it sort of, the report was referenced in a newsletter I get from Vaibhav Sisinty who ended the section he wrote on it with this:
The Wake-Up Call
Ask yourself: whether AI is making you more intelligent or just more efficient.
Because there’s a massive difference between the two. And only one of them has a future.
Hey, @TSiri 
That’s a brilliant quote. Thanks! — Jaycee
