> 2. and help you learn how to do something!

I think it's more likely that people will learn far less. AI will regurgitate an answer to their problem and people will use it without understanding or even verifying if it is correct so long as it looks good.

All the opportunities a person would have to discover and learn about things outside of the narrow scope they initially set their sights on will be lost. Someone will ask AI to do X and they get their copy/paste solution so there's nothing to learn or think about. They'll never discover things like why X isn't such a good idea or that Y does the job even better. They'll never learn about Z either, the random thing that they'd have stumbled upon while looking for more info about X.



I find that GenAI is really good at explaining programming languages features.
