Writing And Drawing Are Like Physical Exercise For Our Brains - Tumblr Posts

Genuinely though the speed at which I've watched "AI" erode the basic skills of my colleagues is staggering.

These are qualified, talented individuals. People I have always considered smarter and more skilled than me. People with resumes longer than my lifetime.

They can't remember how to write a formal email. They're generating their grading rubrics instead of writing out their own standards for their own class. They're getting fatigued doing thumbnail sketches, taking twice as long to get lines where they want them. And every single one is making weirder, reachier justifications for using an AI tool and getting just-ok results over using methods that have been reliable and stable since the 90's.

If you want a functional brain later you need to keep doing things the pre-AI way because if you don't use it you're gonna lose it and it'll happen FAST
