My Day in Three for today:
- Following up on my 101st post from yesterday I wanted to share this post from Robert Birming. I follow Robert’s blog via RSS; it’s fun and encouraging to read his daily posts about keeping blogging momentum. If you are already into blogging or thinking about starting, it’s worth following Robert for inspiration.
- I had a good day in the office. I was there early and didn’t leave too late to make sure I could join my family for dinner tonight.
- ‘Adults lose skills to AI. Children never build them’ is an article I read this evening out of professional and personal interest. AI cognitive atrophy is something I think about a lot as we continue to introduce more AI into both our professional and personal lives. There is a difference in how people in my age group use AI versus, for instance, my children. I mainly use AI to offload tasks I already know how to perform. While I see my children offload tasks (math homework), they never learned to perform. If I had to perform the same task again without AI, I would still be able to do it (less quick), because I acquired the skills through education and/or practice. In the case of my children, they probably couldn’t, as you can’t atrophy a muscle that was never built. What applies to math homework applies in my professional context when working with engineers, too.
